Title: Bubble washing tutorial
Post by: nigelb on March 02, 2013, 10:49:44 AM: For those who wish to go where some fear to tread....ie water washing...then have a look at this link. Bubble like this for your first couple of washes and you wont get an emulsion.

Yes mate...of course you can.

Rotary..Tom uses Sony Vegas as his editing software and itunes gave him the music links. It was all processed on his mac book and uploaded last night.

A little tip for anyone using an air pump in this way,
if you have the valve setup so you dump excess pressure rather than restrict the flow of air your air pump will last longer, they don't like pumping against a closed or restricted head.

it will take out the water that is generated when air is compressed.
