What size plates you got? I tried the prepress molds and didn’t end up going that route.
When I squish flower I usually only squish untrimmed smalls. No real need to break the stuff up. I stuff the shit into my bags. I like the 220u stitchless bags from Lowtemp. Once the bags are all stuffed i pre squish them all before i turn on the heat.
This makes the actual squish waaaaay easier. If you don’t you end up farting around with a thick and bulky stuffed bag thats hard to keep just right between the parchment.

i am so backed up on making the rosin. I keep telling people, “couple more weeks”. Been saying that for about 6months now lol.
It's has 3x5 plates. I was wondering if you could pre squish. So far I've been mainly pressing old weed while I learn how this thing works.

Oh hell yeah!
I’d pick up some of his smaller bags for that size plates.
I stuff 30g’s into the larger bags without blowouts,. but i got bigger plates though.

I will give them a try. Have you ever seen really small bags? Ones that you could squish a couple grams at a time? I've been folding the bag opening underneath, I think I read in this thread that you're supposed to cut off the excess.

Those smaller bags have a safe capacity of 15g’s. But yeah you don’t need to put that much in.
I fold over the bag and after the presquish it stays put. Another reason for the presquish i forgot to mention.
I wouldn’t cut the bags to fit. It would just want to blow out that side and contaminate all the goodness. Then you’ll be resquishing lol.
Which btw, for my best rosin i resquish all the rosin in a more finer micron bag. Not necessary but ends up making a more refined product. And it’s not really that hard to do. If you were only squishing a much smaller amount i would maybe cut off a little so the flap isn’t as big? Because no matter how you do it you’re going to lose a little to the bag itself not much though and with an extra long flap you’ll lose some to that.

I screwed up at first and didn't squish long enough. @curious2garden set me straight and I got a bunch more when I resquished them properly. I've also kept all the pucks so I can run them again. Do you take them out of the bags and pack them all together to press?

Once i’m done with the squish into the garbage it goes lol.
I got so much of the shit i have no time to try to get every last bit of it. I used to kick down my pucks(in bags) to my buddy and he would do all kinds of hippie shit with it.
