No we don't live within a 1000 miles of each other but if we did . . .
Blender hash is really easy.
What you need:
Frozen Fan leaf
A blender
1 qt of Isopropel alchohol
A big metal bowl
A metal permanent coffee strainer
A spatula
a rolling pin or something round and cylindrical like a piece of pipe.
Take your fan leaves, dry them for 7 days or more stirring occasionally to eliminate any potential for mold. You want them crunchy dry. The night before you plan to do it, put them in the freezer.
Next you fill your blender 1/2 full of crushed leaf. Add 1/2 qt of ISO, Blend for a couple of minutes. Now add the rest of your leaf and the rest of the bottle of ISO and blend for another minute or two. Make sure you hold the lid on. Don't ask me how I know to do that! LOL!
After it is blended hold your metal filter over your metal bowl and poor the green liquid through the filter slowly. You will end up with a glop of leaf material in the filter. Let it drain slowly and when it stops dripping take your spatula and press down lightly. You don't want to force too much vegetable matter into the bowl. Get most of it but not every last drop.
You will be left with a green liquid composed of Iso and oil. Now comes the hard part. You have to wait about a week for the ISO to evaporate leaving the sticky oil at the bottom. Iput the bowl on my router to speed things along. That is why you use a metal bowl. You will have to scape the oil from the sides with something like a kitchen knife or the blade from a box cutter and it sort of flakes off.
Make sure it is totally dry. Smoking ISO can damage your lungs!
Take your green flakes and smoke or do what I do and gather your flakes into a cig cellophane. I get about 2 grams/oil per oz of leaf. Wrap it up like a christmas present and tape it shut. You will have a small package. Now take a small piece of newspaper and wrap your package like a present. Wet it under the faucet till it is soaked. Warm up the oven to 175-200, place soaked package on cookie sheet and warm for 10 minutes. The soaking prevents any burning of the product. After 10 minutes, take the package out and take your roller pin and press that sucker flat as possible. Stick in the freezer for about 1/2 hour and presto chango you have an Iso hash bar flat enough to carry in your wallet.
Tear off the newspaper,cut the cellophane off and enjoy. I top a bowl with 1/4" piece and rocket to worlds unknown! My oil has a doggy downer, very relaxing effect. There is little chance of a blow-up doing it this way.
I have a pollen box to remove the real hash from my buds as I break them and the wife sprinkles some on almost every bowl.
I've also done the butane extraction method and you're right you can blow yourself up with that. but so far so good after doing that 10 times. I'll explain that later. I'm tired of typing! LOL!
