Bin the old resin.

Empty the vessel of old resin. Flush out with water. Fill with new resin to about 4/5ths full or just below the vessel shoulder. Then fill with water to just under the neck & insert riser tube/head.

BE VERY CAREFUL NOT to cross thread the vessel head!!!!! It may take numerous attempts to line it up correctly, but make sure you do.

Hope that helps. ;)

Also, before you screw the head back on just make sure the thread in the vessel isn't full of resin beads.

There's a couple of 'how to' clips on You Tube for refilling resin, that's how i learned.

I use a traffic cone as a funnel  ;)

It helps the resin to move about more easily so that the riser can push into the beads.

Spot on.

It makes it MUCH easier to get the riser tube back in & in line as the resin mass is suspended in the water. ;)
