Stir bars open up in PC !!!!
    #26910826 - 08/31/20 09:23 PM (3 years, 4 months ago)

Greetings friends, Im my search for a turbo LC - I just bought a stir plate and 6 new stir rods .35 X 1.18"

I made a LC TEK found here 1 TBS LME + 1 TBS Caro + 32 oz water.

I put 6 pt jars in a PC @ 10psi for 13 min

Once the PC pressure releif released I opened  to find the jars seeming to be boiling but come to find teh stir rods opened op and were releaseing some wieid chemical foam that went on for almost 10 min.

I was so disappointed!

My question should thease stir rods be able to be an a PC.
This was only 10 psi for 13 min
Thoughts on that??

Also, fwiw - up until now Ive been making my LC by
pint jar 2/3 full water say 150 grams
4% caro = 6 grams
3 glasss marbles
2 injection ports (one for air intake) the other for syringe

caps on loose
microwave 13 min @ 5 power

This works well normally but when I tried to add the stirrer - it popped the top of the jar
.... I know, I know... metal in the microwave -- {{{{cringe}}}} but it works very well -- without the stir rod.


Original question - should those stir rods open up in the PC?

also looking for a turbo LC TEK

looking to combo LME & Dextrose  ++ ??

Many thanks!!

Must be a shitty stir bar, they should be able to survive a PC.

I put my stir bars in the PC with no problem. I can't imagine what kind of stir bar would open up in a PC.

Don't microwave metal... It's not only a risk of shooting sparks everywhere from built up charge (they will collect at sharp points, so probably the spurs from drilling the holes that you can't see), but can damage the magnetron inside the microwave that you're not aware of...

Also I would not recommend opening the PC straight away with the pressure release valve and looking at your stuff. If it's still boiling when you take it out I assume that this is the case... It can shatter and make you very unhappy -- let it depressurize and cool down on its own.

I very much doubt that your stir bars were releasing 'chemical foam' but probably just had a ton of nucleation sites that foamed up the LC while it was boiling. Idk what caused your stir bars to open up... The quick depressurizing is unlikely to be, but not impossibly, the cause.

Your post makes me fear for your safety in this hobby.
