Transferring the Shit?
 

Okay, you guyz that have the most experience with this hydrophobic fumed silica need to tell me the best way to transfer the crap from a large container to a small FF bottle?

I see why it comes in a quart bag, as you loose a portion of it just transferring to a large more solid container. I'm afraid to go any further, as my hands are without moisture now and I fear I might be reduced to my basic chemical elements, if I handle the stuff any longer with out some assistance!

I have a small funnel ....

but, try folding a piece of stiff paper in half, poor some onto the
paper, then use the crease to aim it from the paper into your small
bottle

I got my new supply, too, and was glad to see the bag labeled ...
didn't use to be. I transfer mine into a plastic large screw top
quart container ( like they sell in camping depts ) and take that
container with me in the trailer .... then as I said, I happened to
find a little funnel that works great for the transfer to the FF
bottle

..... I peeled the label off the bag and used it on the large plastic
bottle

Don't breathe a whole lot of the stuff ... I'd bet it would leave you
wishing you hadn't

Just flashed back

I was in Blue Ribbon one day and somebody bought and praised some FF
then walked out the door, leaving only me and the crew inside. I
pointed out to that crew that they could buy hydrophobic fumed silica
and bottle it under their own label, making big money. Craig
instantly retorted with something along the lines of "oh RIGHT, like
we want that packaging nightmare...no thanks" and got a round of "what
he said" agreements from the gathered employees. This from people
that make a living filling little plastic bags with dubbing and
zelon, from cutting up dead deer into neat little 3in squares, from
tying thousands of dozens of identical flies each year, etc, etc.

Maybe we should issue warnings about transfer "costs" when we mention
the savings, in the future
