Go for it, might be more prone to foaming as its not completely dry, so use the conditioner.

thanks all ... just running first lot through now .. bit whiffy but to be expected :)

Nothing a couple of more runs through can't sort out :)

Popped a smartstill copper mesh into the bottom along with the rings so be interesting to see the colour of that when it has finished !

So another big thanks to you all for a superb and enjoyable hobby along with some great advice !
