Peace everyone!
Yeah
@herbivore21 you're killin' me! I can finally get a press in January (currently on wife's budget for spec'ing out rig with
@2clicker for vaping said concentrates!). I am itching for it!
Until then, please anyone who could lend a few minutes:
School me on making shatter on slick sheets with my QWET mash, please? (Excited no scraping!)
Slick sheets here, cannabis (Original Sour Diesel) will be dried to low, low moisture by Tuesday, so I am trying to get my skills in order!
I don't particularly need the mash-making part explained so I hope that saves time, feel comfortable on that (1 ounce pinky nail tip sized bud & sometimes maybe 20% fine sugar trim as well, 400ml Everclear 189, both frozen to absolute zero, single five minute wash that occurs in freezer as well - second wash I save for later to turn into some weedahol for occasional nighttime sleep use), strained through Grade 90 cheesecloth and then 0.4 micron rigid coffee filter-type strainer, no vac-assist.
I have Nuwave induction cookware, can keep veg oil bath at steady...100F? (That's what I used before, made shatter twice now, but I would love input on that, my impression was the lower the temp the better)
So I take the Pyrex plate and...line it with the slick sheet...and...
A big question I have is starting amount. I went ahead last two successful times and just ran the entire 400ml mash at once. Is there a "sweet spot" in the amount to do per pie plate, or will that make less difference (final shatter thickness) since I will be using the slick sheet lining?
Also, I tried to understand how to "work" the shatter into a cake on the slick sheet when done since I haven't done that before, so any tips, tricks, etc? I don't want to do something stupid. (Like I just tried a third shatter run, but agitated the mash and wasn't able to get it "bacK" even after re-dissolve, of course that was only a 7g starting dry material run in 100ml EC).
Thanks in advance, and peace!
