so the process started with 5 grams of high quality well cured buds (unknown strain) broken in to small nugs up to fit better in the glass extraction tube. The column was then frozen for a few hours in a zip lock. Then it was run into a pyrex pie plate through a 50 micron SS screen. The plate was sitting on top of hot tap water. After the initial hot water purge the plate was brought in and put on a crock pot heating plate which was keeping the plate around 140F for an hour or two. After the majority of large bubbles dissipated the oil was scrapped onto a piece of parchment paper. At this point the oil looked like shatter. The glob was then flattened in-between the paper to about the thickness of a nickel and put back on to the 140F pyrex plate. It was then covered with a pot cover and allowed to purge for another 3 hours. This is where things got interesting when it was first left on there it clearly became more viscous and stilled looked like shatter but upon returning later it looked like a honeycomb that would come out of a vacuum set up. The oil which now is wax passes lighter test and no popping when touch against a hot nail. The yield from the first run was .7g. So can anyone shed some light on how this became wax.
Also on a side note there seemed to still be some good stuff left in the column after the first run so it was removed, ground up, and re ran with an additional 2 coffee filters ontop of the screen to hopefully stop so of the really fine plant material in there. The yield from the second run was .3 of even dryer golden wax.
