Sam_Skunkman's dry sift method

I go to a silkscreen shop and get some loose screen for my tumbler, and buy ready made screens for the clean up.

Your product is quite amazing for the amount of stuff you are running.. 55g drum? Pictures of that by chance?

Would love to see something before you pressed it, though.. damn.

The tumbler is in storage right now, when I have a chance I will take a pic. I do my work in the winter so I can get some more pics then. I have it on some microscope slides just no way to photo now. Just look at the pics of Sam's mine is exactly the same.

can you say if the dehumidifier is an active participant in making the full melt clear dome?

then the other question is there something else you use, apart from the screen,adhesive foam strips, some common house hold appliance?

those pics of the resin of the first grade look very unusual. it seems some of them are almost floating? they look like they have a static charge or something.

the thing about making stuff on both sides of the screen at the same time is freaking me out! or do you use 2 screens after all?

I live where the conditions become perfect in the winter, 30-40 degrees 20% humidty. I use the tumbler to collect the keif, and the screens for clean up that is all I can say. I am not going to speak of how much I run in the tumbler but I will say it is all i smoke and I smoke most days and have not run out for at least 10 years...

no way Mack10, those last two you speak about haven't shown anything close to Sams quality. I have posted nicer pictures, and i am no expert(altho my handle does seem to argue with that).

Agreed, not even close to sams stuff.

drysiftwizard - You say the tips you gave are pointing people in the right direction? Would anyone agree that drysiftwizard has pointed you in the right direction making superior sift similar to sams? I'd say no

I seem to have missed the good tips somewhere between all the bullshit and boasting. And what's with the hate towards bubbleman, atleast his fullmelt dry sift thread has helped people make full melt dry sift.

this looks pretty good to me specially if it was made from that seeded stuff you see


in this pic DSW posted, there is very little crap.

if i can produce that in a couple of minutes it's a pretty darn clean start specially from such starting material.

flour machine eh? will have to google it. but it seems he would have had to include that in the investment, you not getting screen plus flour machine for 32$. mind you the dehumidifier can't be included in the 32.- bucks either i guess.

Believe me mine is as good as Sams, everyone that has looked in the microscope agrees. I joined into this thread because i saw someone jump in with well lets say a bit of a negative attitude giving incorrect info. I would tell you how to do it. but when they showed me ho to do it the asked me to keep the secret and I gave my word.
I had a friend that was into solvent extraction in KTM and after years of the exposure to said solvents he died a few years ago from cancer, he is also credited with the bag for the bubble bags his name was Eldon he and I were friends for 40 years. when he was near death he looked at me and said "you were right i should of listened".
On that note I feel if I can get dry sift more popular maybe I can save someone from bho poison, or blowing themselves up. It is not about ego at all it is about getting you folks thinking. which seems to have worked...

Eldon left his body a a couple years ago, hopefully he is already reborn. I hope Sam will chime in and maybe so more info will emerge. I can tell that all i do to press it is a turkey bag an iron on low and a magazine. Put the cleaned powder in the bag a couple pages down in the mag, so the iron isn't right on the bag, if the powder is any good it will press. If it is really good it will go black almost liquid, put it in the freezer so it hardens up and remove it from the bag.

I've got nothing to contribute personally, but would like to chime in. I'm an oil head, love me a good piece of TI, big old flame, and fat dab. But if I could make quality sift like all you fine dry collection dudes in a short amount of time with relative ease, I'd gladly convert. There is certainly something that is lost during the extraction process that makes the high a bit less 'well rounded' and loses some flavors/terpenes IMO... The time it takes to get a good dry sift compared to a nice oil or water hash always had me moving in the other directions.

Share your sweet teks and you can add me to your list of converts ;)

Imagine if you could, your method is so good and efficient, that even Sam changed over. Now that would be an honor. Peace GS

The tumbling is the part that most of the time, that is if you wanna do very much. The clean up is relatively quick I can clean around 30 grms an hour. The flour machine was used in lieu of the tumbler to do really large amounts, and it wasn't 30 bucks...
