Questions & Answers
For my small-scale mealworm farm, I purchased this set. They're straightforward enough, but there are a few things I discovered through trial and error.
1. Filling the container does not speed up the process; sifting a small amount at a time does.
2. Keep all four sifters nested together and dump a small amount of material to be sorted into the top one (which should have the largest holes) and work your way down.
3. Some pupa and 98% of beetles are sifted by the largest sifter (I'll call it 1). Sifter 2 is where the smaller pupa and the remaining beetles are kept. Together with 2098% of the larger worms (or larva). The smallet worms are kept in Sifter 3. Sifter 4 is where eggs and the tiniest of baby worms are kept.

Four mesh sizes to help sift out frass, sturdy construction, easy to clean with a hose rinse. Using the second screen, which sifts more than a few small feeders and large debris (often a large number of medium worms on the third screen), I separate eggs (as they hatch, baby worms shed out through screens. Frass has no odor and can be used to fertilize potted plants and gardens. br>br>When working with the frass, I strongly advise wearing a mask because it is a respiratory irritant that can cause a bad cough, congestion, and sneezing for several days if inhaled.
I followed the advice of other reviewers and used a very small bead of caulk where the screen meets the circular ring to prevent fragments from filling that space. I took great care not to get caulk on the screens. I use it to sort crushed glass that is used as frit in kiln work.
wow! These are fantastic! They are exactly what I was looking for in terms of not wasting any glass and being able to make a variety of glass frit sizes. As a mosaic glass artist, I am completely enamored with these. well-made, and there will be no more squandered glass of any kind. These are something I would recommend to any glass artist, and I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. IRISH.
This is ideal for me because I enjoy repurposing beautiful scraps from fused glass art projects. After sorting, I smash the glass and pour it into the sifter. The softer sorting is divided into five sizes, ranging from powder to half-inch chunks. Mosaic and paint fused glass projects are a breeze with this glass.
It's been washed twice and it's still a mess. Glass gets trapped under the filter's edges and sides, causing problems.
At that price point, it's an excellent example of a frit softer. It's made of thin metal, and the screens snap into place; one of them came out fairly easily. I carefully applied clear silicone around the screen and smoothed it out, taking care not to get any on the screen. It did a great job of holding it in place, and it now functions perfectly. You're ready to go when you pair it with a frit piston.
These sisters are used to sift our incense ingredients because we require powder that is as fine as possible for the best consistency. They work well and are also easy to clean. . . I like that they nest because we live in a small apartment and any space we can save is a plus.
I bought it to sort my small mealworm farm, and it works great. Beetles and large pupa are sorted out in the largest holes.
