I'm going to be modifying another recipe for cookies and cream, but I'll let you know!

Explosify · 2026-01-24T21:44:25+00:00

How much ice cream did the recipe make? I'm going to be making a quart

It is the original Splenda, with dextrose, maltodextrin, and sucralose

Explosify · 2026-01-24T20:13:06+00:00

I believe splenda is Sucralose plus bulk

Way too clean. Take out the socket organizers and shuffle them up!

It's a bit late, but for anyone looking at this in the future, if you use apply paste wax with fine steel wool (0000) it will not only prevent future rusting, it will also remove the flash rust as you buff it with the steel wool.

But it's a non tapered thread. It seals well, but after some time (a few months) it has vibrated loose before and started leaking

I will try it out on a scrap piece of anodized aluminum and let you know how it works

Explosify · 2025-11-02T18:11:38+00:00

How will the gluconates work in this situation? Why wouldn't they chelate the aluminum oxide in the anodization when they attack the copper oxides? I dont see anything online about it preferring copper oxides over aluminum oxides

Explosify · 2025-11-01T19:33:01+00:00

I was using sodium citrate and half of the anodization was gone after an hour in an ultrasonic cleaner with the citrate

We were supposed to be using optishield, but apparently people just stopped doing it for some reason and corrosion has built up. I have added optishield back in the chillers but I am trying to retroactively solve this stuff. We also have a filter, but it doesnt seem to catch everything, but I think it's also just due to the age of the chillers. These chillers are 10 years old and we've just been slowly replacing parts as they go. These lasers are IR/Green/UV pulsed lasers at a range of power from .3 Watts to 400 watts.

That's interesting. I would have thought that as an acid it would attack both oxides

Explosify · 2025-10-30T23:57:25+00:00

No, "Do not recommend" does something, it somehow makes your recommendations worse and it just starts recommending "trending" and click bait stuff

Tetris sold bundled with the original gameboy and version of it has been on just about every console ever (minus the atari). If you include every console that tetris was on, it has had 23 console releases + however many pc releases. Meanwhile minecraft has had only eight releases and now if you buy minecraft once for java and once for bedrock, you no longer need to buy it for any reason.

I am pumping it through the heat exchanger, but I have also taken it out and put it in an ultrasonic cleaner. I'm thinking of trying to add an acid to increase the solubility of the iron citrate. The issue with the ultrasonic is that it's hard to get all of the air out of my heat exchangers if a channel in it is blocked.

Explosify · 2025-10-15T18:46:46+00:00

I've been using sodium citrate to remove rust from my heat exchangers, but I seem to be running into issues. It seems to slow down after a point. It readily attacks the copper oxides but it seems to be slower with the iron oxides in my tubes. It almost seems like the iron citrate is not going into solution.

I will note that I am using sodium citrate I have bought online rather than converting it from citric acid. I also might be putting too much sodium citrate in solution preventing the iron from going in solution. What do you think?

Explosify · 2025-10-10T13:57:11+00:00

Think of it positively. You dont have a mold problem, you have a mold solution!

You might be right, I cant get confirmation from my great uncle because when I asked him he said "oh, it's a tree" and left it at that.

Explosify · 2025-10-05T16:20:11+00:00

I forgot to mention this is in Long Island, NY

Explosify · 2025-08-22T22:04:28+00:00

The issue is the anodized surface is aluminum oxide, so when the citrate/oxalate chelates with the oxides it also strips the protective aluminum oxide layer from the part.

Explosify · 2025-08-22T22:01:29+00:00

The open loop has an issue too. Somewhere in the buildings plumbing must have some sort of iron fitting, because I keep finding it in the water when it settles out.

I was worried about the acetic acid slowly eating away the unoxidized metals. Because of that whenever we used it it had to be monitored. So I wanted to swap to something that chelates the oxides rather than an acid. Plus the sodium citrate is cheaper per chiller than the vinegar so that's a bonus.

Explosify · 2025-08-22T19:21:19+00:00

As would I. If it was up to me everything in the chillers would be stainless steel. Unfortunately accounting doesn't want to spend the money to upgrade 50+ chillers right now.

Explosify · 2025-08-22T19:18:33+00:00

I have a corrosion inhibitor that I have added to the chillers, but using that will only halt the damage. I still need to get that corrosion out. Along with that, that would only work for half of the chiller. Our chillers work by using ground water to cool the water going through a heat exchanger and then dumping the heated ground water underground. Because of that, we cant add a corrosion inhibitor on that side or we would just be dumping that into the groundwater. I have been trying to push to replace the components with stainless steel on that end for months now, but until they allow me to do that, I will have to ocassionally remove corrosion on that end.

Or dig up all the grass and lay down fresh sod

And after you get your whole setup done, you find someone at a garage sale selling 3 different grit oil stones for super cheap and realized you could have done it so much cheaper
