Thank you. Gotta have patients to dry sift for sure. A lot of people believe that’s why females are better at dry sifting...patient. Me I’m just not in a rush to go anywhere lol. Older now.
I used hand tek. Honestly a lot of contams wanted to stick to so I did my best and worked material over screen over and over separated as best I could and then cleaned screens and repeated.
My saying goes if you can’t clean it all the way clean as much as you can.
The Double Banana Fuel I ran normal three round of hand tek. I never have problems with fresher material. It’s been said that has to do with diffrent ratio of thca/thc as time goes by compared to fresh (heads).

Thank you too. I do press but for me pressing is not necessary. I enjoy the sift as is it made into hash or made into hash rosin. In fact I always make a little of all of them.
If I’m pressing into traditional hash I like to quickly press sift into coil like shape. Sometimes I will heat to 175f for 15 min to partially decarboxylate other times I just press a few times at say 120f until I see it melt together.

If I’m making hash rosin out of the sift (usually 100-180 micron) I usually mold it again using low heat and just my fingers till I make a small rectangle then drop that into a 25 micron nylon bag and put it into a 220 micron bag. I then press this at 145-175f for 2.5 min.
I do small increments of pressure after half a min. and basically just eye the resin as it drips. When it starts flowing I give it a little push (pressure) to keep flow going.
I cannot say psi because I use a hand pump.
