So I struggle with picking rosin off of the parchment paper.
Can I put the rosin covered paper in hot alcohol to dissolve it!? Without picking up any nasty shit from the parchment?

I make glass collection tools. work great.
Yeah, what Hashmasta said......
I keep a 12” x 24” ceramic tile in the freezer for putting parchment on when the rosin is too sticky.
Stop kidding, that's some cookies pasta on the left and chocolate chunk on the right, i got you!
More seriously that's some very nice looking stuff, dry sift rosin. Particularly curious about the white one, how did you get that?

How does this press method compare with cold filter bags regarding recovery?
Not sure I would need anything stronger than all the cold filter grades mixed in one, all good
PTG,
I toss a handful of trim in a stiff 220u bag, jiggle for 10-15 seconds, toss and repeat. Usually about 15-25g/hour. Gets old real quick but it works. Tumbler would save some time but they're a pain to reload.
And I don't have one.
Keep trying to think of an easy way to remove the toe (0-40u) but in my mind everything gets clogged up. Maybe just a big screen print frame and keep it clean. I have seen those air blade sieves but they look so bloody expensive.
HG,
I don't follow. Cold filter bags?

I'm not sure I understand what the difference between these two are - Can you explain a bit further for us dummies?

My Cold Filter use: Material is mixed with slightly melting ice in a cold room, poured into a stack of filter bags, each is progressively lifted and the bubble hash is caught between bags. Basically from the Over Grow days.
Used Haze pollinated by Skunk, the result was not knock you out stuff, just enjoyable.
I made a press for the Cold Filtered Material about a decade ago, might have to rethink its use after reading whats being done now?
I have the elements used in hair straightners for another purpose?
Starting to sound like a plan.

Yes. I think so, not very common here. I just call it cold filtered because it is descriptive.
I am going with Hot Press on this one.

Ah ok. No worries.
The yield is a fraction of bubblehash. Maybe 1%. Once the trim is crispy dry I give it quick shake to remove the cream. The material is still good to be washed or processed further.
I am curious to see what you make with the heaters.

Just a basic concept, heat and press.
I would not use my current parts. Get the right Temp device and a Jack.
Look into this a bit further and put something together if I get some time.
Knowing the return is so low; I would want to process the remains?
The Cold filtered bulk was reprocessed in hot water for cooking butter!
Not sure how it fits with the Hot press remains?

This might make more sense if I tell you this was the cold filter/hot butter process using seeded plants for all the materials!

the return is not low with good yielding strains. It is usually higher than BHO, and for sure higher than bubble hash.

The freezing temps worked good. Easy in winter.
15/25gr an hour seems to be a nice pace. Dry sift is a pain in the ass when there is large quantity to process, while tumber may comes handy, one have to check the process carefully to not end with green sand...
What you mean exactly by removing the toe? Any resin/ residue lower than 40µ?
And are airblade sieves something like that?

I built a tumbler once, it worked ok but I didn’t have much weed to process at the time.
I’m building a weed processor (in my head) and the tumbler would be the final stage after threshing the buds and screening the big shit off.

So if you had green sand a rosin press would clean that right up.
