Hello,

I am brand new to the list and a small-scale hobbyist.  In years past I have just strained honey through nylon mesh strainer bags.  I am okay with the degree of clarity that brings but wish I could postpone the crystallization that always comes to my stored honey.  Any sort of pressurized or commercial filtration system is of course out of the question for my operation.  

I see Dadant has sets of three strainers, with mesh sizes of 600, 400, and 200 microns.  My question is, what is the micron size of the mesh in the average unlabelled nylon bag, or for that matter the trusty pair of nylon pantyhose?  Will passage through a 200 micron strainer make any significant difference in clarity or in the prevention of crystallization?  

Doc
