From Tube To Oven

[betodel530]

How to get the best results from a best value vacs oven?! Recently bought. I'm used to just whipping my concentrate in pyrex over warm water and need better results, my tools consist of but not limited to regular butane tube extractors, hot plate, oven, vacuum. PLEASE HELP

Spread it out out on parchment in a thin layer and heat until it just melts, about 110/115F. Pull vacuum and when it starts to boil furiously, hold at that vacuum level until it calms down, and then start pulling down again. Repeat until you can pull down to 10,000 microns/-29.5" without a flurry of bubbling and then remove and flip the paddy.
Repeat until the only bubbling is micro CO2 bubbles along the edges, and then remove from oven and cool,

Could I put a layer of parchment on my pyrex dish and spray directly onto that heat until it's no longer a liquid and then throw the parchment in the oven? Or how should my transition be? starting point being a glass tube extractor, finish point being a patty on parchment in the oven. Again thanks for any input

Some folks successfully do an early pour onto parchment, but there are some concerns regarding degradation products.

You can shoot directly onto PTFE film with impunity.
