Apparently, From what I've seen/read, too much force won't create channels for the oil to escape! have you experienced that twitch? Some folks are using 10-20 ton presses :/ I would like to see sub 140 degrees and possibility for long term/overnight pressing. That would be neat and terpy

still playing around with plate size till I get the official ones in tomorrow, nothing special so far. all the metal shops are closed and the thickest chuck of metal lowes or home depot sells is 1/4 inch thick piece of steel doesn't hold the temps very long.

when you make the surface area bigger the force is spread out, I hope the plates I had made up aren't too big. if they are air mite said they would swap me a dps58 for my dps38 for the price difference. RT's plates are only 1 3/4 inches by 2 3/4 inches the plates I am getting are 2.5 x 5 inch

worst case scenario I will have to get different plates made or get the dps58 which that idea doesn't sound bad.

what I have done is doubled the pressing for and increased the surface area by 3 times, might have to cut the surface area back to 2x the RT's press.

Also I am liking the 90 micron bags for flower better then the 220 just a side note, still alot of experimenting going on.

A little math tells me that, with that size plates, you'll need a 6,119.48 lbs. press to equal the pressure of the Rosin Tech set up.
