 +  - Go adding the Alum and spinning until complete dissolution.

 +  - Heat another portion of water and pass through the filter, sieve and vial before filtering the final solution.
 +  - Filter the solution directly into the preheated glass clean bottle.
 +  - Insert the silk thread with a small crystal seed, into the super saturated Alum solution.

 +In my case, 24h was too much time, I shoud have take the crystal off before, because the glass was no so big and as I've put two seed crystas, they grew so much that they clung to one another, I had to gently release them with a very thin, pointed spatula, and one of them escaped from the thread, but the other stayed intact and the final result was amazing !
