Thanks, Al. Yeah, little silly I haven't done a Methanol test on the batch, just haven't yet. Re-processing is an option, clearly, but my concern is why didn't...
What am I doing wrong?? Why is it so hard for me to get clear clean DB when I dry wash? I end up using more water to dry wash than to wet wash. 1. I recapture...

Kirk, you don't clear the tip when you empty the syringe...you stop when you get to the line at the bottom of the barrel nearest the tip. That's why the volume...
