Place the collected regrind on a silicone mat or parchment paper for later use.
Step 4: Soak the components in alcohol
If your dab rig doesn't have a collection container, immerse the components in a container filled with isopropyl alcohol.

Step 5: Shake and remove recovery

Step 6: Pour the alcohol solution and heat it
Pour the alcohol solution containing the dissolved regrind into a Pyrex dish.
Heat the dish on a hot plate at the lowest possible temperature.

Step 7: Allow the regrind to air dry
Once the liquid has completely evaporated, let your regrind sit for a day to air dry thoroughly.
