How many screens are you using there Nick?

 

[steamroller]

Thank you so much for taking the time to document this.
I love my screens and YOU just make using them so much better.
You are dedicated and I appreciate it.
Getting cold enough for me to start up again.
I screen in an unheated shop and it is like working in a freezer.
I feel this is the best way for me.

i use 3.. but i and anyone should use all 4..

 

[GNick55]

i’m sifting in a cold storage room and it’s at 55 degrees and 60% humidity.. perfect zone for sifting

We’re you able to order that 165 seperate?

 

[GNick55]

Yep

ok maybe get it cold like fridge cold not freezer cold.. was it a healthy harvest it lots of brown dry stuff?
worst case you can sift it, collect it all, throw it in a 25 bubble bag and wash it good to break up the contaminate and push it through.. cold cold water and high water pressure..
otherwise just gently sift.. have you not tried cleaning resin?

yes, i called them and they only have a few different single screens as they get them made into sets.. hope they can help you..

TPI [Threads Per Inch] conversion to microns on a rough scale. Thread diameter also play into this.

I can't quote you because I think that you said it in a video, but you had something planned for the 'afters' of screening.
I toss all my by pass into a paper bag for alcohol extraction.
It may not be the highest quality, but it [ the alcohol ] get what me and the screen missed.

two i used to do that now i know my sifting is complete.. but yes i did say that and what i’m thinking is this bucket

i’ll put in the deep freezer for a couple hours as is and than dump it acrossed the top screen and than collect up, no sifting.. see what i get, as kinda a waste of isopropyl and time for me to make oil out of..
i’ll post what happens..

Haven’t sifted anything yet. Been building the bud stock pile up waiting for consistently cold weather. I’m going to sift outside in the garages where it’s cold. Did you freeze that bud prior to beginning grinding for sifting.

not this time,
i left it out in the open there for a few days as it’s in the 50’s humidity around 60.. my buds weren’t dry crispy crumbly but crumbled/broke up nice between the fingers, but i used a medtainer to break up..
