Got some plywood. Made a top table, which will have some lights underneath it for function and fun! Also a press table/work space. I think the 3/4” plywood should be thick enough to take the load/ foot print of the dulytek press plate setup. I can use a plate if I need to. It’s not done as per everything I do lol but will get finished soon! Also picked some little containers for “moistening” (pro JJ tip) as im over the time frame for “fresh bud” IMO. So whenever I am able to get the press plates ill be ready to hydrate!

Do you have heaters in those plates?
And do you have a pre press or will you just put it in bags? I usually compress the buds in tiny 20g cakes that fit perfectly in mine

Yes plates are heated. Not pictured (not sure why) is the controller for temp.

For now I was going to just compress the herb the best I can into the bag. There is going to be some playing around with it for sure.

What micron bags do you use? I’m looking for yield at this point, refinement will come at some point

160 micron (bigger # bigger the hole in the bag)

so I have to ask, is there anything below the wood? Seems like it would just raise itself up .

Yeah no problem! Glad you got it.

I know I thought about going to the store and buying a “top shelf” 8th to play around with. But I’ll wait for mine to finish. Few weeks in counting. Possibly longer on a couple of them.

First press! No bag, pre mashed with my fingers.

200*f for about 45 seconds. Added some flat bar under the bottom plate because the wood I used is a little soft. No biggie. I’ll try another smash a little later and use some different stuff. I want to see how the rock hard dsg m86’ does.

Still not a fan of the return % of pressing but my goodness is the dab at the end worth it. This press I’m sure could have been better but I’ll take it for now. I think bags will increase the yield, along with a proper pre press.

Pic is after a few dabs picked off that tool, and there is a nice little glob on the back of it as well. Not horrible.

Will update after next press!

So am I! totally having a blast with it. just ordered some bags, going to try my hand at pressing more at a time : )

highly recommend getting a press of any sorts!

Your thread title said it. So I am posting.

Need a puck pressed?

My fucking god! This is worse than oilfield prices! (my previous life I was an oil and gas well Drilling Fluids Engineer 20 yrs, prior to that a Drilling Rig hand for 12 yrs). As an example, I supplied 2L bottles of Sunlight Dish Soap to an oil and gas company for $25CAD a bottle.

License to print money. $4511.00USD on IKA website.

On a side note. To all you Trump haters: He is the best thing to happen to Canukistan for 10 yrs! Now both cuntries can flourish. Our 'new' guy has his shit together. Not a Sunday school teacher, girly-boy, queer, total fag, lisping school girl, and out right embarrassment. Did I forget 100% incompetent?

MY Las Edit: I have nothing against gay people. To each - their own. Just dont push it on me. What you do with your dick or pussy is your business. Not mine. Trudy went well and beyond that. Into perverse and criminal.
