HMK Rosin Press Tutorial
- Thread starter Arthritis_sucks
- Start date
Oh man this got painful real quick lemme tell ya. I squished out 10 grams last night of A5 haze bx1. Need a shop press for the next harvest for sure.
Let's start with the filter which I like to use 25u for buds.
Get your nugs broken into pieces no bigger then a dime but no need to bread apart past that point.
Now pretend like your starting to roll a joint an press together. Clean off your fingers one by one maintaining a squeeze on the filter.
I smash down into a rectangle shape as flat as possible, then wrap the filter over like so.
Fold over end like so keeping tight.

Fold over other flap to look like this.
Keep tight an slip into the parchment like so holding in place.
Press for your desired time an temp.
Repeat on other side an that's it.

Work smarter, not harder... Sounds like you're on the right track with the little lady's present 
Do ya mind a pic from the squish sesh?? Your little technique here, just without taking apart the heat source... Just clamp right around the straightener...
Had a little issue with coffee filter bag, soaks up too much of the good stuff... I had the most success squishin' straight, no filter. Lovely toke, just need to make it yield, although no doubt better than before when I tried... 300 lb press... Straightener set at 310F (lowest it goes)... Squishing for ~8 seconds/run, with two runs per nuglet...
Flower was stickier, I did squish some dry sift which came out much more shatter like in consistency... Just one more thing to play with now!
Good vibes

This is amazing. For $40 it will be a nice place to start.
A lot cheaper than butane, tube an a vac oven for sure lol. An no solvents used is the biggest plus in my book.
My pads on the Irwin are melting away lil by lil so I need to rig up something else, an real soon cause I'm hooked
Sooooooo much cleaner then smoking I swear. Low temp dabs for the win

This lil press I am proud of right here. Finally got that color I've been trying to hit. And the consistency is almost of "Clear" concentrate but holding so much terps its insane.
Charity squish an bake off

Every strain reacts different but with this strain I hit it around 170-180 for 5 seconds each press cooling between each press.
Good luck on your squish, feel free to report back here with pics if ya like. I want this thread for anyone wanting to learn this tech an make their lives a lil safer from home extraction. ANYONE is free to post up their runs an ALWAYS feel free to ask anything. The only dumb question is the one not asked.
squished up more cookies kief
6g gave me 2.2 rosin not to shabby
notice the lighter corner. faster squish time on a couple squeezes. kept it to the side for me to compare color wise.
some shatter from the same material used for the rosin
ill be dabbing ova here later bro

Eeeesh I need a fat dab right about now, Faster lower temp will pull some killer color for sure. I need to break mine out soon but life has been happening to often it seems.
Shatter looks redankulous!!
