I was told that before you add your oil to the ba,bb and powder its best to heat it as it can make the powder go clumpy is this right?
Also is it best to mix powder with BA and BB them let that dissolve first? Or mix it all together?
Ive had some advice off a friend and he knows what he doing but im just double checking and as i dont want anything to go wrong. |

should be fine mixing it all together, your gonna heat it all to make sure its properly mixed anyway

It really doesn't matter. Personally I put my powders in my beaker then add BA, BB, and oil (not heated) then heat the whole thing and throw it on my magnetic stirrer.

I have a magnetic stirrer as well, and to be honest I dont bother using it really. I use the thing as a hotplate - long ester gear goes into solution so easily its really no biggie either way. Did I mention I hate short esters?
