Hello all,
Ive been using CC10/50 for about a year now and recently been experiencing small micro bubbles appearing in my pours. CC 10/50 1kg pack has been laying for some time and developed crystallizing at the bottom.
Ive put it in hot water and let it cool naturally and got it back to a nice clear consistency.  
Mixing approx 90g in 2:1 ratio
Mixing in small plastic cups for 3mins then pour in to second cup with further 1 min mix.
poured in to 3rd cup slowly at a depth of 35mm
used heat gun to pop top bubbles
left to cure over night
any help would be greatly received, thanks

in the morning i can see tiny bubbles thru the entire 35mm depth of the pour

Very strange.  Certainly not something we have seen with new bubbles forming after degassing unless there is moisture present.  Would certainly be interesting to see more feedback from the new batch.  There may well be some deteriation or factor we have yet to see with very old batches.
