Folding a filter paper involves a few simple steps to create a cone shape that fits into a funnel for filtration. Here's how:
- Fold the filter paper in half.
- Fold it in half again, but this time, don't make a perfect half. Offset the edges slightly.
- Open the paper into a cone, using one side of the second fold and three sides of the first fold.
- The cone should now fit neatly into your funnel.
