Title: Filling your DI cannister with resin, simples
Post by: LWC on May 14, 2011, 06:16:35 pm: Changed resin today as ive been going out with 020 oops! No complaints tho??? I think the 000 is a myth, ive been looking at windows and theyve been mint. But changed it anyway.

So heres a quick way to fill your cannister, i tried the cup method took ages, this is much simpler. You can be a bit more careful than me, i was trying to hold camera and bucket lol

Just top up with more water and repeat etc. ;)

Post by: dai on May 15, 2011, 10:51:14 am: I have used an old lampshade for years. works perfectly, I do add water before putting the tube back in, it makes things a lot easier.
