Twitch, grabbing the misses hair straightener tonight and giving it a 3rd try. 1st 2 tries I didn't have an understanding how it was done and it resulted in burnt garbage flat buds. Got some chaos. Cannatonic4 cbd buds I'll experiment on. The Cannatonic4 1st as I don't wanna bish up my chaos buds.
I have noticed cbd strains are more gooey and make it a pain to get of the paper. Just my experi, If it does this you will need to put in the freezer and pull out real fast and collect.

20160116_210024.jpg Crappy old ass gf's hair straightener.

Just tried it on some keif....no go. Might be the straightener I'm using.


Edit

Just did a small glue nugget. This is what I got. I'm using a 1/2" wide straightener (it's not the size, but how you use it. Lol)
After 2 presses

Just did a dab of it in my dirty rig. Not too bad. Gonna sacrifice a chaos nug and give that a go.

Me and my edits
Why couldn't you use a silicone mat vs parchment paper?

What I do instead of putting it in the freezer, I take an icepack and put the parchment paper on top of that and just collect it. That way it stays cold while collecting, much easier brotha

Yea can't explain that one, must be for making tea bags.
This couldn't be mine, I don't know how hard it is to make a press... must have jumped the gun on this.... and surely if it was I would have spent well over what it would be just to buy one that is already made....
But what do I know I am just some hay seed from Texas......

Indeed, I sat down with the owner of airmite Bob, for lunch, he said RT is asking for trouble because the units were never intended for being used above 120 PSI and RT is telling people to crank them up to 140 150 psi

RT's press is based on a dps19 http://www.airmitedirect.com/product-p/dps19.htm at 120 psi they do 2356 this is a direct quote from the owner of airmite.
Yo Man! Been meaning to visit with ya for quite a while now. Didn't realize it had been so long until I noticed the dates and all the progress you've been making! Gonna send ya a PM later to get down better,but a couple quicks here.

Stupid ? but any should never be.I believe she's being called clear down around here? What psi did you get the machine up to that RT sold ya? Coulda been why that fucker nearly burnt your house down!

worst case scenario I will have to get different plates made or get the dps58 which that idea doesn't sound bad.

what I have done is doubled the pressing for and increased the surface area by 3 times, might have to cut the surface area back to 2x the RT's press.

Also I am liking the 90 micron bags for flower better then the 220 just a side note, still alot of experimenting going on.
Are you using micron screens instead of parchment?
