Yes, as long as you layer enough so that no solids come through.

it will work better if you moisten it before you use it (the cheesecloth, that is), and use it in combination with another form of filtration (like wire mesh, a strainer with very fine mesh or a chinois)...
a ricer works as well

yeah, and good for the squishing, good idea joc... ever try the good old "french press method"??? i've done it for some smaller batches...
I use a strainer and cheesecloth and a nice pair of runner gloves, kinda old fashioned but thats how i was taught 
I made this glycerin tincture also, but when I made mine, I used a different method (crock pot) and, some different measurements.
In my first attempt, I used a 1/8 of dank and a 1/2 of abv. And I stuck it in a crock pot, and left it 14 hours...... This was a mistake, However not that big of a mistake. The low setting on the crock pot was to high, and my stuff just sat there vaporizing all night. Even though my stuff came out decent, it could of been better.....
In my second attempt I made some altercations...and had a few realizations.....
Realization 1. People making tinctures are trying to get the most out of what little meds they get! Not everybody, has 2.5 oz of bud to throw off into something that they don't know will work or not.
Realization 2. A regular crock pot gets to hot, unless you have a digital.
So in making my next batch I've kind of tailored this recipe, and made some revisions.
if you want to try it OK, and if not OK.
This next batch will require 16 oz of glycerin I got mine here http://www.ahp-online.com/Vegetable-Glycerine-16-oz_p_337.html cost me eight bucks.
3\4 oz of herb, ground fine.
And I bought one of these Little Dipper warmers, instead of a regular crock pot.

you can get the flavor without the alcohol, but it will give a ncie flavor.
Anybody want to settle something? Person a..thinks 2-3 hits in a vaporizer = decarbed......Person b....thinks 325 oven 5 min = decarbed Person a thinks...you accomplish same thing with the vaporizer as Person b would with an oven....Person b thinks, Person a is only partially decarbing the herb, and the oven does a better job.....a or b? Who's correct?

meh, hard to tell... easier/ more efficient if it is done in a thin layer in an oven... BUT, the vape method works if you must... i do not recommend it, but it will work...
What about making it in something like this http://cgi.ebay.com/USB-Direct-Heater-Warmer-Coffee-Tea-Cup-Mug-Office-/330560254445#ht_4337wt_802 It don't say what temperature it reaches, but It has a stir function and I would think with constant agitation it wouldn't require a ton of heat.

i'm fascinated with the idea of a glycerin tinc as it would have no effect on blood sugar and i worry that with an alcohol based tinc all the alcohol wouldn't evaporate off ... don't want the alcohol want the cannabinoids..
My first attempt went rather well I didn't get quiet what I was going for, but it was in the ball park. It produced a decreased pain, less spasmodic, calming high. Vs the, call me a doctor I think I'm going to crash high. I have no problem functioning on this high, I'm actually wondering why they don't put this stuff on the market, it's safer than most drugs out there and fairly cheap to make. The glycerin alone has medicinal properties, I'm not sure what all studies have been done. But it was mentioned that it had a positive effect on the brain, decreasing intercranial pressure and something about aiding the Neropathways. I didn't read into it much, I didn't really have to, it was just the right thing to do. The whole reason I use marijuana is to better my life, not to get fked up! When I started my so called project, I had a bad bout with alcohol. I gave it up when, I found out that one day marijuana. might enable me, to have the muscle control to walk again. (it hasn't happen yet) but, considering my condition then vs my condition now. I've done come, a long way. Every day I get better, I was only making short gains with my vaporizer, but with this glycerin I'm making gains daily.
Senk from my iPad, ya there's an app fr that

I've kind of come up with my own method of making this stuff, like I said. I don't want the knock me down effects that some people do If you want my recipe, message me.
Ah screw it, just keep the disagreements to yourself. This is something I've created in my head, a refined, easier method put together from previous* attempts.
Start out with a half ounce of product (unless your wanting that knock you down high) use mids.
Then take a coffee bean grinder, grind it to a powder.
Stick it in a ziplock and leave it sit out for 2 days, only you want to cover it with a plate or Frisbee blocking any light.
Depending on strength and intensity, add half to a full bottle of this stuff http://www.ahp-online.com/Vegetable-Glycerine-16-oz_p_337.html to your half ounce of grinded, decarbed, herb.
Put it in this and cooked it for two days http://www.amazon.com/Crock-Pot-32041-C-16-Ounce-Little-Dipper/dp/B0000CCY14
If you want a less intense high, cook it longer not to long though.
Here's what i am going to do my next try, I'm only going to cook it for twelve hours. Then I'm going to put it in this http://cgi.ebay.com/USB-Direct-Heater-Warmer-Coffee-Tea-Cup-Mug-Office-/330560254445#ht_4337wt_802 for a few days
I'm going to use 3\4 in my next batch
