Can you get some oven roasting turkey bags? Your hash is going to get really sticky from the hot water bottle and it can be tricky pulling it off the bags, I personally would not use parchment.

Edit
It's also helpful to be able to see how your hash is reacting while you roll it out. You dont want to roll it too thin, it's hard to pull up. And dont overwork it. If you do, the ball will crumble once it's done from my own experience. It wont have that tacky consistency. Gl!

What is a temple ball? I thought it was from dry sift at first, but then I read it's where you roll the fresh buds around in your hands.

It's hash worked with a bottle filled with hot water and put aside for a minimum of 3 months. Frenchy Cannoli kept an old time tradition alive by educating a lot of people on here, YouTube and workshops he put on. RIP Frenchy.

Hand rubbed is charas but probably was how the original temple balls were made. Same region. Himalayas, Nepal, India

I can get turkey bags for sure. Would I be better off ordering cellophane online or just using the turkey bags

So it’s kief rolled flat with a hot bottle of water?

I don’t know how close this is, but I took a bunch of kief from my grinder and put it into a corner of PTFE film, heated it on a space heater, pressed into a ball, and repeated the process until it was as hard as a rock. I kept twisting the film and pressing, and eventually to make its own little porch in the films space and time, much like a black hole.

I gave my son half and am planning on saving the rest for Christmas.

"This" as in mine, or a real temple ball? My camera isn't really picking it up very well and making it look much lighter and speckled. It was golden kief before I started. No green whatsoever.

Again, what do you use as the base? "Hash" is a generic term.

If you zoom, most of what is there is leaf powder.

It's not. There was no leaf at all. It was the crazy small micron screen in the grinder. The film had some leftover shatter stuck to it though. That's all of the gunk outside of the ball area.
