Floor protector sticky dots work well if you can't find any rubber dots(I couldn't)
A pillowcase will work for this.
To stop the bleed throughs, ease off with the pressure, you do not need to exert much pressure like the old hair straightener.
Welcome to the press world, hard to beat knowing all the history of your own dab material.
For the price a few feet should be on the controller imo but it is not a big deal. Just did not have any lying around at the moment.
Since the Dabpress is actually not a bad looking machine, I would prefer a fitted cover as it just looks better than a pillowcase or a bag.
My lathe has a nice thick plastic, clear fitted cover and it looks good when not in use and protected.
The press is living in the basement in a corner of my workshop where I use various power tools and wood, not the best environment but it has to do for now.
Hopefully it will reside in my vape office for easy squishing!
The pressure thing will take a bit to fine tune as there is no gauge and this was my very first go at it.
I also want to look into oil slick paper as it looks like an excellent option!
And lastly those neat black glass storage containers need to be bought to store the rosin in.
So many little things involved in pressing.
EDIT:
Snuck into the basement for a quick squish...
Another quick filter-less test.
Turned the temp down to 185 on the 6 ton DabPress this time.
Pressed a quick round puck using about 3 grams of bud, I used Death Butter this time.
Closed the plates till the puck was just touched by the plates and allowed the puck to heat up for 30 seconds.
Press to close plates slowly and steadily, waiting a bit between each press for the oil to settle.
Stopped when it felt right, a bit less that the last time where i split the parchment.
Left it for 2 minutes and then released the pressure and removed the treasure!
Pick up was easy and I used a cold soda can to remove the final blob of rosin.
Transferred to a bit of parchment and pressed to a disc shape.
Had a few more inclusions this time around but still not too concerned with them on press #2.
Nice and heavy effect right behind the eyes and body numbing properties that slow everything down.
Taste is amazing on the Errlectric Concentration Station with the quartz insert.
It leaves this buttery taste and feeling on your tongue, very different.
I need to buy some small glass concentrate containers for storing the rosin in.
Any tips for a Canadian source?
What else can I do with Rosin?
I see some people leave it in the fridge, some heat and whip it all to further cure the rosin.
It is not cured from the bud already?
What would change apart from perhaps it's physical properties?
Surely the chemical properties would stay the same?
Would be great to know and I will do some research!
Here are the pics from tonight!
