I'm pretty sure you cooked it all the way down....there is no more alcohol. To dab I would heat up my dabber and it will melt the hash around it.
Didn't cook it at all. Let it dry by a fan, then decarbed at 220 for 15 minutes. But yeah in order to get it dabable I would of needed to heat it up in a pile or while it was evaporating. But that stuff is longgg gone :D

Because I made a large batch and was going to make some edibles. I've heard it makes THCA into THC so the edibles are more potent. But I could be wrong.

Would a 25 micron screen work as my filter?
yes? wouldnt recommend it for this reason tho...

trichome heads are on avg 74 micron? or larger...
which will prevent the trichomes being stripped along with the plant and will clog your filter, eg it wont break off the trichs and pull through filter and leave in suspension... this is why i recommend the disposable reusable coffee filter... the ones i bought were 2$? at the grocery store!

one of the reasons i Really like my method is all the materials can be sourced Very quickly, very easily, and Very cheap

under 10$ you have all the supplies ive listed in tutorial

so personally i wouldnt use a 25 micron screen as my main filter, seems a little too fine to me... now a 250 micron screen, thats pretty much IDEAL
the idea behind it is the solvent pretty much falls through resistance free, its similar to what people what consider "quick wash" without ever actually submersing your material.

hope that clears it up for you!


happy to answer any other questions you might have!

I was trying to figure out which one of my bubble bags would work best as a screen in lieu of the coffee filter.

I have bags, but no money to buy a coffee filter. lol.

So out of a 5 bag set, you think I should still use the 220?

deffinatly as you still need to do your post filtering with a regular coffee filter (dont skip that part)

2 sheets of paper towel might work in place of a coffee filter in a pinch? .... at least for coffee it does.... ;)

I think the paper towels would deteriorate to quickly.

Oakley, back to the final strain/rinse through the paper coffee filter.

That was the filter I was thinking replacing with the 25 micron bag.

paper towels wont deteriorate that quickly... but they have clay in them! bye bye clarity
theres particulates smaller than 25 micron, it would filter alot, but not alll


lol my suggestion for a free coffee filter, goto a hardware store where they serve free coffee, stacks of filters etc sitting there so ppl can change out the coffee machine, just grab a couple lol

One last question, I have a drying/pressing screen that is like 10 micron. Its not that i dont want to use the paper coffee filter. (which is what i will end up doing) I was just wondering if there is an alternative that would work the same :)

Oakley you ever let the ISO dry in front of a fan instead of cooking it?
nope and ill tell yah why, Dust.

i dont care what you do, i dont care what you try, when you leave a dish that size in the open for that long, it gets a SHIT load of contaminates in it.. ESPECIALLY when you have forced airflow over it, all it does is suck all the free floating particles in the air towards your dish, and then blows it right through the vapor thats evaporating which condenses and drops back down, and when it gets towards the end when its sticky, gonna get Alot worse :)

I leave mine out on the table all day too and I'm allergic to dust and don't have any problems with it.

Heh. I feel easier with that then cooking alcohol on a stove, but I'm probably just a pussy. :D

aside from having high flow hepa filters all throughout your house, what i said is Highly applicable, theres dust floating in Everyones house :P lol you could be a germaphobe neatfreak and still have dust in the air in your home, if you live in your house, theres dust in your house :D
