like some said earlier in this thread,and as i learned myself,you shouldn't overthink the process. you're better served with a higher acetone ratio,and it's better to swirl the boolits and product just enough so most boolits got in contact with the juice.
the other factor is, you don't want to proceed to the baking part if the boolits are still sticky.they must be drydrydry.use a fan for 10 to 15 minutes,and you should be good to go.i'm putting the tray with the fan over'em,and then i put the tray on top of the oven a little to make sure the product is dry.
then the baking process is the easy part.
