Suint Vat - Part Two
I left my vat for a couple of weeks. Mostly a time thing and I figured it could not hurt! Wow is it stinky when you open it up. I set up a screen over a bin and took out handfuls at a time.
I wore gloves and squeezed the fleece out ove the screen.
Then I threw it in my commercial spinner, which I set in a tub to catch the water I spun out of the fleece.
Once I spun it I decided it needed one hot water wash. I soaked it in a tub with some Euculan for about 30min. I rubbed the really dirty tips between my fingers and then spun it dry.
I noticed that the fleece in the smaller tub was not as clean as the one in the larger tub, I think the extra water makes a difference. I started another cat and split a very large corriedale fleece into the three vats. I still have a little left over.
The fleeces look fairly clean, no worse then when I do my two wash, rinse with them. Once they are dry I will be able to make a better decision on it I like the suint vat or not.
