I thought I would open a thread on this problem as it is really about this specific problem with this kit. First off, this kit came with this insert and an "extra" just in case packet of Kieselsol.
I added the first packet of Kieselsol stirred for 2 minutes with the drill stirrer. Waited one hour, added the pack of Chitosan, stirred for 2 minutes and then vacuum degassed this guy for almost 30 minutes. I left it for 7 days while on travel and sitting on a heating pad with the temp at ~ 71F.
I come home today to this.
It has cleared (somewhat) but you can't see through it by any stretch of the imagination. Quite a bit of sediment on the bottom that is out of the field of view of the snap.
Should I wait another couple of weeks or go ahead and add the "extra" pack of Kieselsol now. My past experience says it should have cleared 90% within 48 hours and the other 10% within a week to the point of crystal clear or almost.
Those of you who have more experience than I, please chime in and let me know what you think as far as the addition of the extra pack.
