Pressed 3.0g Trainwreck kief, then twisted my arm to test it....mmmmmmmmm....so friggin tasty..2.1g yield....packed well; went slow, 0-400 bag psi over 4 mins; @ 180F.

Double bagged, 36micron, still blew out twice....

Did you grease it up good before pressing? You may have to raise/lower your plates manually a few times to sorta preheat the kief and get it nice and soft pre press.

Oh yeah, i did, just like that one vid..

i’m gonna nail it eventually...but 2/3 yield, flavor, and potency are doing the job for the moment.

Only thing I can think of that would make a kief press blow out is too much pressure too fast. At least from what I've gleaned reading and watching vids. How soon before 4 mins were you at max psi? And did it ooze out a fucking mess like Pedro's did? :D

2/3 yield is pgood. Weird that the bag would blow out twice like that though.

I did 3 runs blew 1st and 2nd time....0-400 in 4 mins....36 micron bag is small, and it’s folded over, placed in another 36 micron bag, and folded over....kief isn’t all trichs...coulda just been plugged up.

Next time, maybe next larger bag

Could be. 37 micron is pretty fine. I haven't been able to squish any kief myself just yet.
 
Been working on making a cannagar with my nugpacker jr. got the rosin squished, and got the jr all packed up. Bit of a challenge not having a stout straw in the house, I'll have to snag one next time I go by the store.

Can't see the packed weed here, bc I folded the parchment paper down. I've got it sitting next to my plates while they cool so I can coin the rosin out real thin, in order to help the central core of the cannagar stick together by melting the trichs just a bit.

Small-coin version of the rosin. Looking at this yellow shit makes me really hope I can smoke again, bc goddamn. Just looking at it makes me wanna smoke it up lol!!

I'll post more pics later once the plates cool and I can move on to the next steps.
 
Got it wrapped in rosin and two Raw papers. Not quite the hemp wraps that I thought they were, but I imagine they'll work just fine. Now to just let it sit and dry for a bit.

Gotta trim that excess off the front end there, but outside of that, it's really only missing a glass filter tip instead of that raw filter that's on it. May drag the front thru the kief collector on my grinder, see if I can get some sweet shit to stick to it.
