been checking these out for sometime now and,

after exhaustive research decided not to go for cheap set even tho im sure the results are identical. nah today i have ordered the shiny lab set 5 piece: lid,base, 70, 107 and 125 mc . im a fool for them flashy lighting effects when shopping!!

anywho, me tink me got a good deal haggling sales bloke. had interesting chat with him about the new expanding markets within the sieving industry(red face)

ive sampled most end product bar roisin and for me dry sieve works best love the taste.

the advice u guys have given on icc on the best particulate extraction being the initial 2-3 min creme dela creme is there in black n white.

my old method has been the trusty silkscreen frame, i think they are invaluable in teaching you how inefficient herb behaves when agitated. ive had great short sieve kif .love the upturned speaker shaker stylee.

im lookin and keen to explore more efficient tumbling sieving, vibro, shake, air jet, etc

but not enuff hours in the day but hey ho here i go.

used in commercial sieve box
and single t shirt screen print frame



117, 132, 140, 151mc

used in sieve drum tumblers and fancy pollen grinders


so ive modified my order and pushed the boat out, just wondering how many will eventually be obsolete, if any

i like the sound of those in between size screens mind

those metal sieve stacks are ok for 80 ~ 125 lines per inch mesh sizes.....but the sides are little too tall for easy carding once you get down to the finer meshes....(edit : the round shape sieves are not as good for carding as square or rectangle shape either)

and most screen frames designed for screen printing have sides which are too low and so of the material can spill over the sides.....

but it's not that hard to built up the sides of screen printing frames (and raise the bottom so the mesh is not sitting on the ground )..

and with the right tools the tall sided, 6 inch diameter, round, 230 mesh, metal seives could be cut down to an inch and finished safely so it won't cut the kiffer ...and so it would be much easier to card the debris through, while the resin heads stay above (as vibration alone won't work with finer meshes like 200 or 230 mesh...so I've noticed)

happy dry sifting!

some even use 3" sieve sets...but thats post-pollinator/skuff...

use a bristle brush...boar/badger hair...not shitting...

newark come 12"...but once again...pretty expensive for a cert brass sieve brass sides...

yup...cert metal fabric and stetch your own..they sell brackets for tight sieves..think theyre for ink copying....

think the sam hash tech provided a second screen on the vac..so the trikes were sucked through a screen and retained on the second...forget...but should work...dunno??? cards work fine...but must smoosh the trike head leading to increased oxi..

always loved the grey area technique of leaving in kif vac'd form...yields a orange dust over time...esp on their grey mist...reminds me of the "red dust" from that cheesy 80s show "V"..
