Hey Oldchucky....
Awesome amount of silly putty!!!!
I've found that practice makes perfection.....
Reading through threads and following GNicks advise, I definitely found out that the room you're kiefin or hashin in needs to be cold also....
I say that because my first attempt at dry siftin, temps around 60ish⁰, didn't go over so well.....
But I'll be damned if the next time I sifted at around 40ish⁰, my haul almost tripled, maybe even quadrupled.....
There's that, and the other thing I found out, it could also just be me or my perspective, was the 2nd time shakin, I ended up with more than the first shake......
