Cleaning tiny bit of water out of oud?

#1
Brother Mecn09r sent me samples in an exchange.

BUT, the bottles smelled like synthetic on the outside only, so I gave them finger scrubs in hottish water.

Now, they all have a tiny amount of water floating above them (barely visible).

I uncapped them and left them standing in a dark room hoping the water would evaporate before the oud it covers, but I don't know the general evaporation temp. for oud oil.

Brother Ensar, please help ASAP!

Thanks.

Scrubbing your vials in 'hottish water' is unwise... I don't have much wisdom to offer at this point apart from just using the wee amounts of oils as they are and not doing that again. Çok yanlış yaptın.

You just can't 'filter' the amount of oil in a tiny sample without either losing a significant amount of the oil or oxidizing what you have beyond recognition; to the point where it won't be serving its purpose as a 'sample' of anything.

Next time, please use ethyl alcohol to clean your vials. :)

I was not cleaning the bottle.

It happened that I received samples from a different distiller, and on attar had synthetic in it. I then accidentally put the attar applicator into the ous bottle. The water was an attempt to flush iut the smell (which did not completely work). :D

Teşekkürler, Ensar Ağabi! ;D

PS: Your "Büyük yanlış yaptın" is gramatically correct, but a bit awkward. Better to say "Büyük hata yaptın". :)

PPS: How good is your Turkish brother Ensar? I should start posting threads in Turkish to guarantee a response (or at least a like) from you. :)

Thanks for the grammar lesson, ama hata senin abicim. I didn't say "büyük yanlış" but "çok yanlış".
