PART TWO OF POST PREVIOUS POST IS ON THE LAST PAGE.

The third grade was a streak that was all around the oustside that was very clear. If i can figure out how to get more of this I will be very happy



now the weight off the first run



like I said earlier the stuff i set aside still seemed very gooey and i thought what the hell I will run it again at a higher temp. i turned the iron up to 420 this time and pulled some very sticky out.


The seconed run i pulled this


so with both the first and the seconed run my return on the keif was 68% .

And lastly i had to make sure they booth bubbled up.(sorry about the crappy pic it was hard to get a pic)


they booth bubbled up real nice. cant wait until tonight to give them a good smoke test will report later how they did.

I took a bit of kief and put it in a piece of screen like 220 mesh, the hottest my little iron would get was 289* and pressed like hell...Well it has piqued my interest, i am going to try a bigger piece of screen. I dont hink the kief i am using will press on it's own...

the instructions i saw to get heat on both sides, is first you scrape off the bottom coating, then its steel on the bottom i think. then you leave it closed before using for a bit, that way the heat transfers to the bottom first before pressing, and both sides are hot.

i think if you press your kif into hash first, it will give a purer oil when you press it.

Lookin' pretty solid Guy. May want to watch this for a couple tips for doing rosin with dry sift:

The 25 micron screen seems to help a lot when using dry sift as a starting material; really keeps those particles in place and allows the rosin to easily separate.

How we can we adapt this method for trim? Or varieties that arent putting out much?

Im thinking machine pressed pucks of trim or bud to get a higher density in a smaller area. Then press these pucks under high pressure and with heat. Dont forget, heat is a byproduct of pressure, so dialing in the settings properly would be crucial. Machine pressing everything into dense pucks may help reduce some of the contaminant issue as well.

Im going to get a hash press or the like, and see if i can do it on a small scale first.

Here's a pretty good tutorial I found on it.

Went back and did a little more work with this. I have lots of small popcorn buds from some outdoor Brotherhood OG. Treid to get some close ups the best I could. Still have some contaminants but smashing buds I doubt you can ever get it 100% clean.

How do you deal with only one side of the shirt press being heated?

Just do a flip, once you pressed one side?

Roji, Did you take out the foam piece between the two plates? Just picked mine up a couple hours ago. Gonna put it to use right now

[Roji]

Yes, remove the foam. You preheat the bottom plate with the top plate before the squish. It takes a few 20 second presses to warm up both top and bottom.
