Is it possible to recycle resin saturated IPA back into its crystal clear form?

In this video, we delve into one method of reclaiming IPA via a common water distiller. A couple of safety tips for the distillation are presented to minimize fire risk. We also discuss the recovery efficiency and perform a cost analysis.

I highly recommend using a distiller with a temperature controller.
