I stole most of this write up since im pretty lazy, but i did edit somethings

Heating
In the vial that the gear came in put a needle in the top to vent ( not as far down as the oil )
put a pan on the stove with a little pit of water in it.
heat water just to a boil
put vial in water. Make sure the needle is in there for vent or it could explode.
Heat 10 to 15 mins

What youll need-
(You can buy these things from any research lab supply company, or just google)
1x whatman .22um or .2um syringe filter (PVDF, SFCA, or Nylon ONLY)

1x 10mL, 20mL, or 50mL syringe (big enough to fit all the gear being filtered)
1x insulin syringe (U-100, not U-40)
2x 18g needle
1x needle- any size (for venting air)
1x sterile sealed vial (big enough to fit the gear being filtered)
1x vial of Benzyl Alcohol, the smallest amount you can buy
and as many sterile vials as you will need

Step one: Adding BA
(This is why you need the insulin syringe, and Benzyl Alcohol)
calculate how much 1% of the amount of gear that needs to be filtered is
your gear multiplied by 0.01-
5mL x 0.01 = 0.05mL BA = 5 units
10mL x 0.01 = 0.1mL BA = 10 units
20mL x 0.01 = 0.2mL BA = 20 units
50mL x 0.01 = 0.5mL BA = 50 units
100mL x 0.01 = 1.0mL BA = 100 units

Inject the BA into your original gear.
Your original gear probably has 1%-3% BA in it already, but just incase were adding another 1%. Obviously youre sketchy about your gea or you wouldnt be reading this thread in the first place. BA doesn't start to hurt until about 6%-10% anyway.


Step two: Draw your gear up
(You need to put an 18g needle on the big syringe)
Pull all the gear into the big syringe with the 18g needle.
The best way to do this is fill the syringe with air equal to the amount of gear being drawn.
Hold your gear with the syringe in the seal, vian in the air, syringe below it.
Now push 5mL of air in, draw 5mL of oil in.
Repeat until finished


Step three
(This is where you use the rest)
Put the small needle in the top of the vial, just deep enough to let air out. It is very important that you don't put the pin too deep, if you do then the oil will flow back out through it. You only want it deep enough to relieve air pressure.
Attach the new 18g needle to the syringe filter, and put the needle in the vial.

Step four
Draw some air into the syringe so you clear the small amount of oil from the needle chamber.
Remove the first 18g needle from the syringe with gear in it.
Make sure you have about 5mL of air space in the syringe.
Screw the syringe onto the syringe filter.
This will be a slow painful process but push it through that filter.
The filter itself holds 2mL, which is why we push air in behind it to clear the syringe filter.
Inject into the new sterile vial

Please make sure to change the needle after everything you do and to wipe the top of the vials with alcohol. There no point in doing this is your going to push pull shit right back into the vial

any questions pm me.
 
i filter first., and you dont need to vent either. i feel the pressure helps, at least i have never had to. pre heat over to 275 leave it in for 15min. take it out and let it cool. repeat 3 times. you have better control of the heat especially when using esters found in deca , eq or slow release test. boiling in water will work. water transfers heat better to your gear but too much heat can be a problem especially if you have it sitting in a pan on a burner or gas flame. all the posts ive seen will work, but this one is better in my humble opinion.
