Detailed Steps:

1) Put your used, saturated IPA into a transparent or clear container with a lid, to prevent evaporation loss.
2) Expose to direct sunlight for 3-7 days. A sludge will fall out at the bottom. That is Resin Jelly. Your IPA will visibly change to almost 100% clear.
3) Carefully empty the container without disturbing the sludge. The IPA is ready for reuse. I typically recover ~80% without being overly careful.
4) To make sure you don't carry over any of the jelly, pour the recovered IPA through a coffee filter.

would those paint filters that the printer came with work?

Warpy Pagan I don‘t think they‘re ideal. You could also use a kitchen roll or sanitary paper, but best results would be coffee filter or filter paper for labs

Can you use a curing station?

Nick Ahlbin I would not use the curing station for this, the resin jelly is really hard to remove from the container once you left this mess in the sun for a few days. Better to go with a disposable or just extra container. Protip: if you let the jelly dry with the lid off, it‘ll eventually turn into a brittle substance than can be removed. Takes a few weeks tho.

Martin Hallmann but I can put a PET bottle in it

and what do you do with the sludge? I got a hard time getting all of it out without that everything flocks into thousands of particles and it is everywhere

Kevin Duong ideally, when the sludge is the only thing left in the container, let it air dry in the sun for a couple of weeks. It turns into a brittle plastic that can be easily removed. For filtering out particles of the stuff use, well, a filter.

Nick Ahlbin ah I see. Yeah but you need several days of exposure, so it should work but the sun might be the more comfortable choice.

Martin Hallmann several days sounds a bit extreme

:-)

Nick Ahlbin Germany in winter time. Your results may vary.

Sweden is probably worse
