All things press related is a thread im starting for all things press related. Machine size, brands, product to be pressed, topic discussion, tips, tricks, successful pulls, un successful pulls, pictures, questions and videos are what its about : )

I’ll start by saying I’ve only pressed my own home grown with a vice and hair straightener hahaha! I had one good press and one total fail. With those two presses I learned the importance of humidity of product, along with a few other little variables. But I know for sure there are still some fails in my future of pressing.
I have ordered a 12ton press that I’ll be pairing with the dulytek 4x9 heating plates and controller, it’s gonna be sick!!! Hahaha. The press should be here next week and the heating plates im hoping to get ordered in a couple of weeks. Im using this time to harvest my current run and letting that dry. Along with maybe playing around with the press when it gets here and the hair straightener just for funnzies! (ill post EVERYTHING) hahaha!

Im going to start my first few presses with some 160 micron filter bags 2”x ?” So far I can only find a pre press mold with the dimensions of 2”x 6” and I would like at least 7” up to 8” in length.

I’ll keep y’all posted on my setup happenings! Until then and beyond, load the shit out of this thread with your press related everything! : )

Dude me either! Hahaha I’ve been reading through here and there are rosin threads. I just figured I’d get a wide spectrum topic thread going. I’m pretty sure there are some experiences cannabis pressers around here, hoping some of them will stop by at some point : )

Im thinking I can use a single mold with 2x4 dimensions and just put two pucks end to end in the micron bag to make the 8’’ long! I found 9” long mold but they want over 100$ US dollars for it.

Anybody use molds to pre press? I know some of you use your pre press mold as “paper weights” haha! Lookin at you JJ hahahahaha!

Getting closer! I may try to get a few grams out of what’s hanging now using the hair straightener I know it’s beyond goofy overkill but it should work non the less : )

From the reads I have done and the half dozen presses , I think that a bottle style form would be best for preforming a puck to slip inside a micron bag.

ok! I’ll look into that! : ) thank you! What micron bag are you using for that? I have thought about this! Making pucks 3 or 4 pucks and smashing that as opposed to one long pre smash piece!

For flower I would use a 90 micron bag.

Also moving forward break it up as I had a seed involved my last squeeze and I don’t want that again.

Rule 1. No seeds. lol.

Yeah im still not sure if im dealing with seeds in my stuff or not! I’ve been looking through it as I sample stuff and the only shit that had seeds was the original grandads lavender that hermed. Im hopeful but will absolutely make sure there are no seeds! I read that it’s undesirable to press them but now having your experience added It a 100% kind of thing now lol! THANK YOU for sharing!

Ok got the press assembled and pressed a couple of nugs “pre smashed” of some stuff that had been hanging for a few days. Not awesome but not a complete fail. It is goofy dont get me wrong, just wanted to play around with it. I couldn’t even feel pressure built up in the handle during the press in the picture, and the straightener was about maxed out on psi! Hahahah! Now I just need to get something to smoke this stuff with. I’ve got my eye some cool pieces for the future, but for now im probably just going to get a 45* angle banger for the bong. I am getting really, really excited for the real heat plates! Pretty sure im going to be getting enough oil to smoke on for days! (Major win!)

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.
