Its reusable. Tony V and bubble man use it. It's safe supposedly.. Under too much pressure it bubbles. You can use it over and over and even clean it too.
But bubble man did promote the ptfe sheets when the rosin craze first started. There's even a video of him pressing rosin with ptfe. He recommended it on hash church then. Now says it's horrible to use health wise. I think ptfe is horrible to use for the fact you can remove the rosin from it. Bman will deny ever recommending it. Some one called him out on it months ago in the hash church group. I said he should take down that video then. After that the thread was deleted.
Anyway my point to that was down the line their thoughts can drastically change on it.
I've been sticking with raw parchment myself. That doesn't bubble under 2500 psi.

They break down under pressure and don't transfer the heat very well. They are awesome for collecting via "drip tech". I would like to get the drip tech down and use a silicone bowl to collect.

Looking good man. Now for the heat and controller. How are you planning on setting that up?

we've just been heating the plates manually with a blow torch and laser thermometer. tested it a couple times just to get a feel for the process. we've been so busy lately we've barely messed with it honestly.

I was considering doing a dry ice extraction collecting the kief and smashing that with a straightener. I have about a pound of larf and trim. How much should I yield off a pound?
Any suggestions? I have all my money tied up in my new grow so I cant really afford a dope ass press..
For running pounds, but using the kief from dry ice, would it be worth my time? or should I just blast that amount?
I make killer bho but I haven't even tried rosin yet..

I've always heard bad things about dry ice kief, I've never actually tried it though. The quality of the kief though will effect the quality of the rosin. If there's a lot of green in the kief, often the rosin will have a greenish tint as well in my limited experience.
For kief I think one of those drum type tumbler units would be great, personally I just shake some weed in a 120 micron water hash bag over a piece of glass. Here's some deadhead OG kief that I pressed out to rosin. It's definitely not full melt sift with a bit of hair and plant matter but pretty nice.
Pressed out into rosin... I use a hair straightener and a small vice.

So you think dry ice would be a bad idea? I have a set of bubble bags. I've never ran bubble but I hear the yield sucks. Would it be better to run bubble hash then press of just dry sift using a bag?

I was pressing bubble at first, then I noticed that all of my bubble rosin had this certain taste I don't care for to it whether it was made from the lowest or highest grade bubble I had. In my opinion running it through water doesn't do it any favors, but then again maybe my bubble hash tech just sucks.

If your going to press into rosin I would just go dry sift straight to rosin. I too prefer the taste of sift rosin compared to bubble rosin. Maybe use the 160 or 190 bag so you get more sift? Since it's being pressed anyways.

not a bad idea at all.
Dry ice hash to rosin would probably be ideal because there is no waiting a week or more for it to dry like with bubble. Plus no chance in fucking it up with improper separation and improper drying either(I see it all too often).
using a straightener to hand press will take a while to do a whole p worth of sift but prob not much longer than making bhno.

I was at Target earlier I found and grabbed some natural unnleached parchment. Wilton brand. It's right next to all the pots and pans kitchenware. I'll try it later today or tomorrow for rosin. I got it mainly to dry hash on. The raw brand I always have to order from amazon or aqualab.....

Dry ice will be too dirty to get anything good tasting, imo. Stick with the BHO for large batches. I can get great tasting with QWISO now as well but I don't know about doing large batches with it.

I have found the best results squishing on the day before the stems snap after cutting the branch. Humidity plays a big role. Lots of guys swearing by the boveda 62 packs for perfect squishes
Danksta, I think if your trying to process a lot with rosin tek, it would be much faster to kief out your stuff with dry ice then squish.

Damnnnn can't get away from it I guess. I've been using the Reynolds brand parchment but maybe I'll give the Wilton brand a go.

Its was $3.99 a roll at Target same price as Reynolds everywhere else. You just don't want ptfe and quilon. Silicone treated or coated is ok. It has a 450 degree threshold.

Awesome dude. To be fully functional you will need some heater cartridges, thermo couples and PID controller. Shouldn't cost you much more than you spent on the HF did. If you need suggestions hit me up and I can point you in the right direction.

I appreciate that because in the not too distant future we probably could use a couple pointers. Is that bubble hash you're smashin in your unit?
