Rosin Tech

[UncleBuck]

i'm thinking this:

1) oil slick sheet instead of parchment.

2) a really good heat press

3) certain micron 'teabags'

4) fresh trim squished into balls/pancakes made to fit into the teabags

squish, bag, press, scrape. so on and so forth.

could even try to extract the flattened nugs another way if you really get bored after.

I didn't have good results with the oil slick sheets.after that I was told to fold it over twice. I haven't tried that yet. A garlic press works great for pressing anything loose and fluffy. Just put foil or parchment in it to block the holes. You won't need the tea bags when the flowers or trim is smashed but If you keep the trim loose you will need the tea bags.

You can also make dry sift with the trim but make sure to cure the trim for at least 2 months first.

i want to find a good way to turn trim straight into rosin. lots of trim.

i'll start small though.

The tech that my friend does to make lots of rosin is basically a dry sift and then it's pressed into rosin. They use lots of quality trim for the dry sift and top quality nugs too as they are heavily into making extract so while runs of nugs and trim goes to this.

Any of you want me to be your guinea pig? Lmao im fucken droolin over here!

Press that trim into pucks then just press like that. Prob. won't need a screen either that way. Sometimes I can just press the trim into a ball with my hand and press that way.

I was making rosin last night, I use a small travel iron and a cheap metal dish/plate from my local dollar store. The heat spreads well after gauging it a bit. What I found the iron can do is push out more rosin using the edge, providing you have a metal surface below it to keep the heat placement constant. The rosin going into the silicone carry container is interesting to say the least. I had a fresh dab ready in the small container when the tool pressed a little too hard in there and released this...10-15 min booger of work on my shop floor. Like I'm going to find that. I hope they can make something that has a better edge to it so that you can scrape this stuff off and not lose it!

i wonder how much i could press at one time on a 15''x15'' t-shirt press.

maybe i'll try some small scale nonsense today and try to get an idea.

T shirt presses haven't appeared to work that great. I wonder if anyone has tried a pizza press though....?

 

[qwizoking]

Can anyone show a pic of what a few grams of their best rosin looks like?

@aintgottabhwd should have some pics for you soon. Blasted an ounce and got it in about 500mL of 200 proof ethanol. Going to let it go a bit longer then start evap.

you sift it with dry ice, gather sift, put in a tea bag.

Last post of this. Only since it was requested in public will I share in public. Once complete I'll just update this one. So started scraping to gather for vacuum purge. Gonna see how this bit does for honeycomb. But 2g and you can see how much left I have to scrape and once I do my vacuum purge to ensure I think it's safe to say my I'll hit my mark. This is all from some damn good trim."Edit: mostly Spice of life sweet tooth number 1, badass pheno of galaxy from pyramid seeds this is my best rosin strain I think, and my glass slipper. Some og sour d, headband from the chemdawg stock(love me sine day wrecker), some personal pixie dust a gdp cross, Jamaican D from Cali connection which has proven to be a sterile hermie at least for mine. Some cannabis cup winning stock of tangerine dream. Wish I had not ever stopped and still had my OG dabney blue and KKSC. KKSC and dab was my favorite. My dab 2 dabney x sweet tooth 1 sucks for flower but good for concentrate." Column just an old glass column that's 17" x1.5" loosely packed with a 1" Dowell rod. Whip it 5x into 200 proof ethanol. One ounce bone dry 2 300mL cans. Now for some shitty cell phone pics. Lol

Oh and @aintgottabhwd.
First two pics were when still on the heating pad getting the EtOH out. Sorry the pic on the silicon mat on the scale really sucks. Need s new camera. Using an old S3 temporarily.

Mas. 9g slightly wet.

you sift it with dry ice, gather sift, put in a tea bag.

You could do a bubble hash wash without separating the bags microns by collecting all the heads together, drying, and doing a full spectrum press as well, that is if you don't want to do the dry ice sift method...

Been wanting to do this for a while. Lazy mode.

I tried it out the other day with some dry buds I've been saving for qwiso or whatever it happens to go into. Started with about 3.5 and pressed about .2 - .5 ish at a time and did two presses per.

Pressed at 310° (lowest setting on the iron) for about 4-6 secs or until I started hearing a sizzle.

I wound up with about .2 of Rosin. Which is about 5% return. This seems really low should I increase the temp a little?

Here are some pictures of the starting material. I didn't press out the rosin I just left as a blob. It tastes pretty close to the way the flower smells and burns for a while.

The one thing that worked best for me so far is using small buds, I.e. between dime and nickel coin sized. Well for those familiar with US currency. Lol posting again for visual reference. Right is starting size, left pressed size, and amount I got out of it.

My first attempt at rosin. I pressed some last night just to try. I scoped up a little pile of dirty kief from my drying trim and pressed it in my hand to make a chunk then rosined that. It was a .4 chunk i got 5 dabs out of it and to my surprise it tasted just like my shatter just more mellow. And the satisfaction of dabbing something you know is absolutely solvent free. I gotta say i was real skeptical about rosin but i think there just might be something to it. It was nice

Looks fire , congrats on your first rosin.
