How do I press lower quality cannabis resins


Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you have a decent amount of homemade hash and you want it to be in a solid, compact block? Well, look no further because I have a simple and speedy technique that will do just that.

Firstly, let me clarify that on occasions when I don't have much hash, I prefer to keep it as a powder. However, when I have a good amount, I find it more convenient to have it in a solid block. To achieve this, you'll need a few tools - an iron with a steam function and wax paper. Additionally, make sure you have at least one gram of kief powder or crystal on hand.

Now, let me tell you how I stumbled upon this pressing method. It all started with a dream induced by bubbles. I woke up with a burning desire to put it to the test, and I wasted no time in doing so. Of course, it wasn't perfect at first, but I continuously made adjustments until I found the perfect balance of heat and pressure for achieving the desired level of compactness in my hash.

It's worth mentioning that a few others have also tried this method and were pleased with the results. I've even discussed it with Bubbleman, who agrees that it's an effective way to decarboxylate hash.

Now, let's get to the nitty-gritty of the technique. To begin, start by breaking up the pile of kief into fine particles, ensuring an even consistency. Then, place the wax paper on the ironing board and spread the kief powder evenly on it. Fold the wax paper in half and place it between the iron plates with the steam function turned on.

Press down on the iron for about 5-10 seconds, then release the pressure and wait for the wax paper to cool down. Repeat this process a few times, making sure not to overheat the wax paper or burn the kief.

Once you're satisfied with the level of compactness, remove the wax paper from the iron and let it cool down completely. Then, carefully peel off the wax paper to reveal your solid block of hash.

In conclusion, this technique is a simple and speedy way to compress your homemade hash into a solid block. With a little bit of practice and patience, you'll be able to achieve the perfect level of compactness and enjoy your hash in a more convenient form.

Making hash is a delicate art that requires precision and patience. The process starts with selecting the right strain of cannabis, one that has a high resin content. The resin is where the magic happens, as it contains the cannabinoids and terpenes that give cannabis its unique flavor and effects.

Once the strain is selected, it's time to extract the resin. There are several methods to do this, but the most common one involves using ice and water to separate the trichomes from the plant material. This process is called "bubble hash" and it's a popular way to make high-quality hash.

After the trichomes are separated, they are dried and then sifted through different screens to remove any impurities. The end result is a fine powder that is ready to be pressed into hash.

To press the hash, I use a simple method that involves folding the powder into a wax paper envelope. The key is to ensure that the inner layers remain intact while the outer ones may melt together. This creates a solid and compact package that is easy to handle and store.

Once the package is ready, I prepare my iron in steam mode. This is a crucial step because it effectively moistens the package, preventing any burning of the wax paper. Applying slight and even pressure, I press the package for two seconds on, two seconds off, for approximately 45 seconds. Both sides receive equal pressing, resulting in a smooth and uniform surface.

After this step, I place the package in the freezer overnight. This is where the magic happens, as the cold temperature helps the hash solidify and retain its shape. Anticipation builds as I rush to the freezer in the morning to check on my freshly made hash. The moment of truth arrives as I open the package and reveal the golden-brown hash inside.

And let's not forget, the joy of making your own hash lies in sharing it with loved ones! Whether it's a special occasion or just a casual get-together, sharing a joint of homemade hash is a bonding experience that brings people together. So next time you're in the mood for some high-quality hash, consider making your own and sharing the love with those around you.
