Definitely going to try this.

After you press the buds, the oil that is left, it's called rosin? And rosin has a texture like shatter?

i think its definitely stronger than bho. it gets me ripped on a very small dab, on a just pretty good strain

i found another good tip for getting the most on the first press. as i mentioned for a second press, or any consecutive presses i fold it up so its thick and small and taller. well when making my initial puck to compress, i found if you can make it a taller cylinder than it is wide, a nice tight little cone or cylinder that stands up and you carefully press it like that, it gives a lot more oil on one press. i take sticky not too dry buds and compress then into tight little chunks, taller than their footprint. maybe somewhere around 0.15 grams chunks. its impressive

usually its a bit softer than shatter, maybe always.

i think we need some kind of cylindrical heated press that can be filled up with herb, then compressed heavily so the oil leaks out the bottom. an extraction tube, but of a different nature than the usual.

Good idea! Now that you've revealed the secret, ah wonder how long before the units from the second hand store start showing up sticky and skunky?

You guys think a laminator would work or not enough pressure?

I think pressure is the key ... hot, short intervals , and high pressure. Remember TTP, Time Temp Pressure

Let's put our brains together and create an icmag rosin extractor build guide. If we make sure all the parts are easily accessible from common home building stores, many folks would be able to benefit from being able to make their own solventless.
