Well of course it wasn't dry enough, hence starting at 100C. It was also green as balls hash, the bottom grade of a few runs.

Not everything we have to do is gold, done to perfection or even half assed properly. Like bush trimming. Never done it, but I understand the goal. Get it down, bucked and drying safely as quickly as possible. Doesn't matter how, but how quickly. Of course the ideal situation is miles away from that, but how much of an ass would you look trying to whole plant hang and dry trim in the bush.

I am aware of someone who did just that, but that's another story fit to a particular situation.

I literally throw a lot of cannabinoids in the compost pile, I throw away my rosin chips, I recently figured out that there will only be room for the highest grade if you want to survive in this industry, the market is so flooded with b grade, candies, chewies, coconut oil, pills ... you can make extra high grade concentrate with outdoor, but there is no money in re-processing the leftovers I think.

Yeah I don't have that luxury, let alone being able to chose what work I do. I take what I can get and do what I can with what I have.

Okay, so I sat the parchment paper on a frozen ice pack and waited a few minutes to get the rosin very cold. Tried to scrape it off when it was really cold, but no luck, still sticks to the parchment paper! I also tried throwing it in the freezer, but the second it gets taken out, the rosin seems to reach room temp pretty quick? No idea.

I saw this youtube video where the dude turns rosin into shatter into crumble/budder. Perhaps this physical manipulation might be the key? Thing is, getting that liquidy rosin into a "puddle" so you can work it like they do in the video is the challenge: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2y9p2ZFh7I

Any other suggestions or ideas to try out regarding how to collect liquidy rosin off of parchment paper?

Ya might try cooling a tool down, say a knob of glass or the like.

ideal temps that I have observed is 180 to 200 f. put your bud in the plates and close them just enough that they are shut but before any pressure is registered on the guage. wait 10 seconds, then we take our press up to 10000 psi in about 3 to 4 seconds. we hold 10000 psi for about 30 or 40 seconds or until we are satisfied. it works amazing

with our rp skywalker kush we were getting almost 30% yields and with hso black dog kush I extracted 6 grams from 30. super terpy loud tasty stuff.

for sift you can press at a lot lower pressures. basically we drop the temps to about 150 to 170 f and then just close the plates on the bagged sift. and you really dont even need to apply real pressure. it starts oozing out. you just gently add pressure as needed. half the time we dont even register on the guage when we do sift presses

[Stickybred420]

the press we use is our own design. it has a 10000 psi enerpac ram and we have a manual and electric hydraulic pump. heating elements and pid is all watlow stuff.

Try rapping the parchment around a can out the fridge and scraping it up whenits pressed agents it
