I'm in a bit of a bind peeps.

thing is, I'm addicted to kief screening my canna. I just love seeing the golden goodness collect and grow....putting the grinder in my freezer, shaking, and seeing it grow much quicker than @ room temp...omuh gawwww, boner

but the stuff in entirely too hard to work with. I've tried putting it in a bindle (small paper evvelope with no edges for the kief to get out of inside) and it just made a wafer-thin peice of shit that was entirely untransportable....b asically it disintigrated when i tried picking it up

watching don's hashmaking vid, it seems like the missing element is prolly heat...maybe?

or perhaps i'm just not exerting enough pressure to bind the trichomes.

I've been pondering all day, and short of metallurging my own pollen press from tubes and nuts and bolts...i'm stuck


so i'd like you pick your brain

throw me ideas, teks you've used with great results, stuff you've seen cool-cats do in the past...whatever

I want to have a little nugget of my own hash, if only to say i did it.

thanx peeps.

The Don

It's the heat

seriously

One time way back, I had a large garbage bag full of kief and no viable way to press it.

My friend suggested that i buy two large sheet metal sheets. I took the kief and layed it out on top of one sheet, as much as I could. I then put the top sheet on and heated it with a team of large blowtorches for about 1 minute. I then lined up my 10 000lb lifted truck and rolled over the sheets for about 5 minutes.

This whole event took about 2 hours from time of idea to smoking the first of the pressed hash. It cost about $20 and worked like a charm. I often wonder now what the neighbors thought....

well, i got some advice from a friend and just made fingerhash from it. the volume shrunk dramatically, while density rose incredibley.

basically it looks like a little peice of rabbit poop.

i guess thye only thing to do is wait for my other friend to get the hash to me we talked about.

which isn't all that ad, I just hate waiting.

here's a pick.

The Don

keep going!

i've never tested this method but i heard it works well, you just bunch up the kief into one corner of the bag or a small bag, then double bag it and put it in your shoe and go about your normal business or go take a walk or whatever and by the end of your day, wallah, shoe hash.

smallarmsfire

yeah, it compresses a lot and you're like nOO!O!o cause its nice to just sprinkle the powder on a bowl & such.


but yeah just make enough till you can pinch it with your [Clean!] pointer finggers & thumbs making4-sided pyramid shapes initially seems to work well for me, then press it into cubes, spheres, etc.. sexxay!)

pics soon!! just packed someaway for a homeslice..

^ that looks gross nun.

i'd just buy some (probably minimum a yardish, unfortunately) of that screen from an online vendor in an appropriate all-purpose meshsize and buy 2 buckets that fit in eachother, and cut the bottom out of one, replace it with screen and fit into 2nd bucket for a bucketzyztem of true glorious magnitude.
add trimmings from urlocalfriend & shake/tumble as needed. people buy rotisseries and hook up 5/10gallon drums and do that shit all day, yaddyaada


fuck some hand action, fingerss only for small amounts.

I'm very jealous of the people who do this stuff and end up with big breadloaf sized blocks of hash.

I'm really fond of the stuff and really can't wait for my friend.

ant-i-ci-pation!

links for silkscreen...

dickblick: surplus-size pieces (36"x42") cost a bit less per sq"
Monofilament Polyester Screen Fabric - Blick Art Materials

smallparts: (12x12 or 12x24) polypro is stronger and will last longer than polyester.
Polypropylene Mesh | Cloth Screening | Polymesh

polypropylene also makes for great, safe filtration for strong acids/bases.

There are just too many things to ignore. I've had my doubts and ideas, but at this point i just know it to be true.

answer my pm! you know what i'm talking about!

(i'll look into the mesh, thanks!)

one more question; what is the ideal tpi (threads per square inch) for kief collection? Don't want no leaves in me shtuff.

Roach

threads per inch................ ...as in bolts ?

or thread count............... ....as in Martha Stewart ?

eldizle

martha stewart.

"Determine the fineness of a fabric in threads per inch (TPI), measured by counting the number of threads in two directions, along both the warp and the weft."

Roach

I buy screen mesh..............me asured in microns.

but that's too much like science for most.

eldizle

well, that's good too mooloe, could you reccomend a micron width perhaps?
