Reminds me of the presses they used to have in old fashioned laundriesI bought a black widow 20 ton press and 4x7 plates from lowtemp about 1000 bucks.
Dudes are paying 5k for their presses that do the same thing.

The bigger the plates, more tonnage needed though psi. Plus, the rosin could end up getting cooked on there too long, burning the precious terps.Reminds me of the presses they used to have in old fashioned laundries
I predict something that huge for the near future thoughReminds me of the presses they used to have in old fashioned laundries
You know though, heads were squishing rosin with hair straighteners just a year ago. Then teeshirt presses. Now, it's lower temps with more psi. Even though the psi makes heat too, it's still at the infant stage for sure bro.Reminds me of the presses they used to have in old fashioned laundries
Yes, your unit is new style but now that you mentioned tee shirt presses, it kinda looks like the ones in the late 60s-70s for the iron on decals for teesYou know though, heads were squishing rosin with hair straighteners just a year ago.

So those silk bags you wanted to clean (another thread) go into the press'squish?I squish and make rosin with this

I use the old school teeshirt press to press out slabs

Yup. You load the bags up with flower(160 micron bags) or bubble or kief(37 micron) and squish. It's a little bit more complicated than that, but no biggie.So those silk bags you wanted to clean (another thread) go into the press'squish?
what is your approx weight recovery from 10g?Yup. You load the bags up with flower(160 micron bags) or bubble or kief(37 micron) and squish. It's a little bit more complicated than that, but no biggie.
I do 10g's at a time with both
So, it really is all about the strain, and getting it at around 62% humidity first is key too.what is your approx weight recovery from 10g?
When i squish bubble, i get right around 50%Cool, so what prevents the squished rosin from sticking to the bag? Or do you have to scrape and fuck with it?
Oh yeah, betcha there is a ton of stuff left. Alcohol extraction, but it won't be as clean, chlorophyll will go with it; but would be usefulWhen i squish bubble, i get right around 50%
The rosin oozes out of the bag and sticks to the parchment paper. Or ptfe paper.
What i want to do with the spent bags is extract what's left. Here's one of the spent 10g loaded with flower bags:

There's def some good stuff stuck to the bag, and that material has got to have some medicine left in it too i would think
