though there's probably 1,000,000 threads already about techniques...
i thought i might ask for the latest opinions on the state of the art :

what is the best way to bring together the 3 base elements: distilled water, propylene glycol, and oasis blocks??

1) soak the oasis in propylene glycol and then add the distilled water?

or

2) mix the propylene glycol and distilled water into a 50/50 solution and then dunk the block in that......?

3)?????

thanks in advance!

1. I would use a farette and a sheeps thong

2. I would of course use nipple pastie's from the 30's to do the proper measuring

3. Then I would get climax beads

Sorry, Ive been smoking again

Scott -
I just mix the distilled water and PG together in a 50/50 mixture, then wet, don't soak the oasis foam with the solution when needed.

Just add a little to the block at a time until you RH gets where you want it.

Agreed, just moisten the foam, do NOT soak it.

Just as in smoking a cigar. Relax, slow down, go easy.

I soak the shit outta mine, never noticed a difference..

..although I only have to put water on the foam once every six months or so...never had any problems in 10 years so far...
