Thanks for bumping this thread GW, I was amazed to go back one page and see the freeze drying fad starting.

I have a slight variation on the hot bottle technique Frenchy made famous that I just pulled off for the first time this morning. I used a hot brick to press with instead of the rolling it with a water heated pin. Results were similar, but its less work this way. I'm 99% sure that using a rosin press would make pressing out one's separated trich heads even less of a chore.

Put a brick in the oven at 230ºF for half an hour, then take it out and put it on top of your folded Silpat and let it sit on the hash for a few minutes while the heat sinks in, then press it with body weight (I sat on the brick for 10 seconds, it not as comfortable as regular chair)

I had to use that funny camera angle to get the flash to go between the silpat layers and illuminate the hash.

Put the brick back in the oven and after the Silpat cools it opens up pretty cleanly

Roll it up

Then press it again and its done.
I tested some and its about 4 star stuff, made from last summers GG4 "b" buds, tastes like sweet floral fuel & it got me stoned enough that I started playing with my sustenance, this quarter ounce braid was the result.

The 2nd pressing with the brick was probably barely necessary, BrickTek™ seems like it might be a more thorough process than the hot rolling pin. I think I usually have to do about 5 turns on each batch with the hot bottle method to get a finished product.
