Substitutes for steel wool in your machine

[nāhamasmi]

Howdy,

I've always been a bit hesitant to use steel wool when creating machines for several reasons and have found an excellent substitute that is quite effective. Instead of using steel wool I've used the stainless steel mesh inside a tea strainer and it works perfect (linked below).

Coles - Tea Infuser Stainless Steel

Anyone else had good successes with other substitutes?

hello FluffyCl0wn,

I think that the ideal thing to use is copper/steel ribbon as it is flat and holds the liquid DMT very well, scrubbers such as Choreboy are perfect.
The trouble with wool or that strainer mesh is that the strands of metal are round and it is harder for a round wire to hold the liquid DMT.

im sure it will work but it wont be optimal.

let us know how it goes.

I've already been using it and it works great! I ripped it out the mesh, cleaned it with a jet lighter then rolled it tightly. This may sound a little odd but it was my preference over the steel wool as it was a food grade product and therefore, in my crazy mind, would have gone through more vigorous testing than the cleaning product.

I understand what you mean with the roundness, I'm always a little scared it'll fall through as I load it but so far so good

I'm using the Volcano liquid pad or at least parts of it. Works fine.

If I'd want to use a mesh, I think I'd go for one or more pipe/bong screen/s.

Cheers steepa, I'll have a play with them and should be able to pick it up locally

Parshvik Chintan that looks amazing ... went to order two and shipping costs between 20 - 40 >.< might try and find a local seller. From what I gather you would use that the same as you would use a machine as the one piece yeah?

Those porous ceramic discs are relatively common anymore, look for different brands
