Steaming Aquasoil?

CPDzeke · 01-11-2013, 09:01 PM

I recently poured some water on my Aquasoil to wet it for a dry start. When I added water it started steaming! Any idea why? Thx.

Was not steam, was dust I am betting.

Let's not jump to conclusions guys, it could have also been really hot water.

Nope. Room temp water.

Oh yeah. Was hissing also.

it's dust for sure..hissing as it's dead dry and slight water is being absorbed very fast..common thing..nothing to worry about
