Fucking pure genius my friend.

Heady gave me the idea once I saw him an others using it in their feed on IG. Press for 5-7 seconds an press with the 600 lb quick grip atleast. I'm building a different press this weekend if all goes well.

What temps does it work at? They hold up to the pressure? I like it

how long do you press it and how do you gather the sticky mess?

PICS, or it didn't happen.
220 is nominal as per Heady and Arthritis
I'm hoping to get my press tomorrow and I'll do a crash course how to. Hopefully with those in the know chiming in if/when I fuck up

Soooo I finally got my FIRST hair straightener yesterday after waiting for awhile for it to get in. I had to end up using a dremel to remove the plates from the plastic backing as they had an inline fuse that was soldered through the plastic backing. I went to all the trouble chopping this thing apart only for it to blow apart when something shorted out on the back of the board. Went out and bought some ceramic straightener from a big box store. It was a lot easier to take apart but the wiring is a little odd in that there was two wiring assemblies that prevent convenient wire placement. I set the pads in place on the quick grip and found out that the lowest heat setting on this one is 310 ;_;. Off to a disenchanted start with rosin tech.

youre off to a great start, dont let a simple obstacle blind your creative side. yes remington's only go down to 310, so how do we fix this? by insulating, this another reason i squish with the silicone pads. just remember that these pads do start to break apart physically, not chemically, so you need to replace them about every 50-100 squishes depending on manufacturer

What about using some card stock like a cereal box or something along those lines?
how does heady heat his big press?
Hope he doesnt mind me chiming in. He heats the plates on a hot plate and measures temp with IR gun then manually moves the plates in place with oven mits
Haven't built my shop press yet....... got a couple rigs an dab tools instead lol.
took some dabs today of organic soil grown gg4 rosin.... so damn proper, i gotta stop dragging my feet and build one of these little suckers
I have been intrigued by this for some time. I reckon it is time to try it. I have a half of a 5 gallon bucket of buds to try this with.
Nice thread btw.
