UPDATE:
So I figured I did something wrong, so I redissolved the 'waxy' parts to experiment. I left the good looking oil parts alone.
After redissolving, straining with more care, and purging over gentle heat, the product looks MUCH better! You can see the finished product here:
Total...
Okay, some updates:
I threw all 3 runs back in the oven to see if they would purge a bit more. Run #1 fully melted. Run #2 half melted, with the other half being a wax-like substance that does not melt or go clear. Run #3 was almost all the wax-like type. I'll upload a picture when I can. I'm...
When I put it in my oil pen, it would not fully melt either until it was directly on the coil or directly in the flame. It kinda melted but stayed in chunk form, as opposed to my reclaim oil which fully melts when I drop it in...
What would make QWISO not melt very well?
I air evaporated first with only a slight steam bath below it (it was kinda chilly, outside, and the water in the vessel below would cool pretty quick (10-15 mins)). Once it was fully scraped, I put it in the oven for 15 mins or so at 170 degrees or so, and it came together just a bit more (see...
i'm gonna jack a scale from work that will count 0.1g at a time, so i'll find out.
The first dab went well, second one lit on fire....what does that mean? It was a less 'oily' dab; more of the 'waxy' part rather than the clear. It seems like it has more of a propensity to just flare up.

Yea, I did it under my back deck, so it was generally pretty dark. Also, it was left overnight, so never any sunlight to be had. Next time I think i'll throw the dish in the oven at the end and let the powder melt before scraping i guess...

So here's how I did it:
7 grams of high quality bud, mason jar, 99% iso, (shitty) coffee filters and a gold mesh coffee filter as well.
Froze the mason jar, bud, and 99% iso in the freezer for 6 hours or so.
1st run: lightly swirled the plant...
