So! You've been creating this sort of havoc since you were a child, eh? Spend a lot of time in the corner, growing up? LMAO

Actually, I am going to try this again today. LMAO Last time I did it the watery mess sat for 2 days and suddenly, it was sticky enough to gather.

I have a small bag of popcorn that was dried for a couple days (less than half way dry) and then frozen.

I believe your method was to turn the frozen bud into hash/sift (via ice water or dry ice) and then press the hash/sift. I have failed at every attempt to press hash/sift so I am going to press the watery mess again.

Make hash. If you press those flowers I'll volunteer to be the one to poke you in both eyes and sack you simultaneously.

The trick to pressing hash is to go REALLY slow, with low pressure and low heat. 160F, and don't go over 1 ton EVER. I take it to just below 1 ton and leave it there until I see oil flowing, which takes awhile. Once it starts flowing the pressure will go down, at which point I put it back up just below 1 ton and don't add any more pressure unless it goes below that.

Do I have to use a filter with hash or can I just make a puck and press it?

Get your fingers ready M. I'll post a picture. LMAO

Back to the corner, bud.

No I wasn't. I just wanted to try squishing a fresh bud. This was long befor Mikell's beautiful picture. Fresh frozen rosin is pretty clear you make fresh frozen hash then press that...

Ah he's just having a go at it.

Filtre it. Doubled up coffee filtres work but you have to press painfully slow. And it's better with melty hash. Nylon teabags. Scraps of nylon. Premade bags. Your metal screens. Though that's better for 30+g pucks.

You definitely need a filter. I use a single sheet of Chemex unbleached paper filter. It WILL burst if you apply too much pressure too quickly. Again, no more than 1 ton, and don't add more pressure until the pressure drops from flow.

I have some bleached white coffee filters. Some tea bags and a pair of old socks.

I have silkscreen cloth but I'm pretty sure that will melt. Same with bubble bags. I also have some stainless screens from some BHO runs I did.

I'm off to heat up the press.

start with the coffee filters, 3 layers around the hash seems to be the sweet spot and also as buddy said you have to press painfully slow.

and as far old socks goes, I ll politely say no

I put the pre pressed puck in a coffee filter, then a metal screen then the whole mess in a parchment envelope, or for directional flow wrap the metal screen in ptfe with only one edge open and put all of that in a parchment envelope then flip the press on it's side to let the rosin run out. I usually use 50gm pucks @ 200* with 1 ton of pressure after the pressure quits dropping and the rosin is flowing. To much pressure and you have a blown out mess...
