How to you make hash into a brick?

[Ilike2grow]

I’m in the process of making dry sift hash with a screen. I’m using 2 different micro screens so I only get the good stuff. The problem I’m running into is what can I use to smush it into a small brick. I only have normal kitchen stuff. I don’t have anything convenient like a press. What can I use to compress it and how? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Normal kitchen stuff to press hash ...
Maybe a garlic press if you close up the one end ?
I bought a little screw type press. It works ,but is kind of messy with 'blow by' in the tube.

Pulsar Stainless Steel Pollen T-Press

The Stainless Steel Pollen T-Press is a big heavy duty t-grip style pollen press with a stainless steel construction that is built to last. This is the last pollen press you will ever need. Features a 42mm inner diameter with a single stainless steel plug disc.

let’s see the kief to press.. was it cleaned or not?

Like Nick is alluding to, if there is too much plant material [ dirt/sugar{ dark not light colored sift}] then it will not press well or hold together .
I use 4 screens and the first one is not pressable .The second may be pressable ,but it is the third and final [on glass] that press into hash IME .

Without a press? Do you have any kinda of mold? If you had a pre-press mold used for making rosin, and a vice on a work bench in the garage I bet you could make a slab.

Oh man I’d love to have a vice grip to do it. But I thank everyone for your advice. I Went with using wax paper and a jar filled with hot water. It came out perfect, since this is my first time I’m not sure if it’s of the best quality as it’s more green then brown, I also only used my trim to make it, I also got a lot … probably at least 1/2 oz. I’ll find out how good it is tonight when I sprinkle some in with the weed I use to make a joint.

More contaminates, in a tumbler

Yes it with still press into a nice brick.

Tumble time labeled on the bottom, 15 to 40 min, weight on the sample.

300 gms of flower used to make each baggie

What do you mean when you say tumble time? Do you use a dryer or something? Lol. If there’s a easier way then a screen I’d like to know. Just remember I’m a home grower and only grow 4 at a time.

How much does that cost? If it’s not crazy expensive I can get one. It sounds alot easier to just put everything in that and let it do the work. It would save alot of time. But I used the wax paper and hot bottle of water to make my current hash. It melted it together into a puck, I smoked some on a bowl last night and it fucked me up.

Worst case scenario...a car jack and two wooden planks

This is where I started but I’m a cheap ass - then I cleaned and pressed with water bottle like you - mayb a bit of work but well worth it imo
