Kirby vacuum bags as filter paper?

<< < (2/2)

Xaja:
Paper towels are the shit! Handy Towels or whatever brand, most as good as each other, couple together work great because they not slow as fuck like coffee filters. The price is not the same filtering quality of course, but if time is an issue they are great. Only thing is the soak up lots, so gotta wash them with lots solvent if what you want is soluble...

spaceman1964:
no, but really, try your basic cotton sheets.  one goes a looooooooong waaaaaaay!!!!!!!  swis uses these almost exclusively with great results. :P  edit(martha stuart sheets of course!)

indole_amine:
I usually use small coffee filters (without any fancy micropores, the cheapest stuff available!) and stuff three our four. Perfect for vacuum filtration, as they already come in a flat, round shape, not folded... ;)

(BTW for filtration of very fine particles, good old diatomaceous earth provides excellent results if I want the filtrate, not the solids...)

Plain unbleached cheapo toilet paper works well.  Doesn't absorbe as much as paper towels...
