hello guys after lots of time i'm finally benching with dry ice tomorrow at 12 my local time.
Well i tryed to get acetone but could find it, so i got alcohol 95.5%
now the question is how much alcohol and dryice should i put on the tube?? any kind of proportion 2/3 dice or less??
regards

Fill the tube half way with DI first and let it sit for awhile, then dump in the Alcohol. I use about 3/4 cup but it depends on the volume of your container also.
Good luck hitting the big numbers :banana2:
Yeah on my first and only day of DICE so far we used about 1 or 2" of acetone, then dropped in the DICE slowly (bubbles furiously until acetone is cold) until it was about 3/4 full.
On second thoughts maybe DICE first then acetone would have been a better idea...
