then i will stir to burst all the bubbles. liquid butane attracts moisture. there will be water in your oil. this is from the air not the butane. do not worry. stir and wait another hour.
this is what i was talking about and again thanks

i tried to edit that.

i like letting it dry more. some times for a week or more.

i just carefully shove it in the jar at that point. it gets messy.

To save time, effort, get more oil, and get it super potent DARK amber (looks like fudge).

When you've finished scraping your oil up and there is still a bunch that you can't pick up, just pour a little bit of moonshine or rubbing alcohol onto the glass. Then just swish it all around or scrape at the oil again underneath the moonshine or rubbing alcohol. The alcohol acts to clean it off of the glass and condense it. (I'd say use only 1/4th of a cup for a huge dish). You can then pour this condensed oil into a much smaller plate or tilt the dish so that it's in a corner. and let it dry out again (less alcohol you use, the faster it dries). There you go, much cleaner dish and even more oil that's easy to scrape up.

or

So that you barely have to scrape at all, do the same thing. In the end you have a lot less of an area to scrape because the oil is covering a much smaller area. This helps you collect more oil off the dish and saves you a lot of needless scraping.

You can also save yourself some drying time by putting the oil into an even bigger glass dish to dry it off fast at first and then collect it with the alcohol. It doesn't make a difference how big the first dish is because you aren't going to have to scrape it anyway.

I like to use 70% isopropyle rubbing alcohol to do this because after most of the alcohol has evaporated and the 30% water is mostly still remaining, the oil starts to clump together into very dark amber blotches inside the water. This helps to collect it even more. In the end you have a mostly clean dish with a glob of super dark brown oil.

You might want to add that to your guide Fdd2blk.

i never scrape mine fully because i'm always gonna make more. i just make more on top of the scrapings. :eyesmoke: :blsmoke:

have you ever had dark chocolate honey oil? it practically forms into its own smooth black ball. You can poke the clump with a paper clip to pull it out of the water and it's like a melted chocolate glob. It's always beautiful. -tear-.

i had one of my "pressing screens" that i use to make hash with covered in chunks of bubble hash. i took a small porcelain cereal bowl and put about a 1/4 cup of of 91% ISO in it. then dipped my screen in it to clean it. i was left with a dark brown liquid. pretty much melted hash. i let the bowl sit for a couple weeks until i remembered i had it. it's breaking off in small chunks now. :mrgreen:

looks identical... understandably. Have you smoked it like that before?
i tried ISO a few times, making it with bud. i didn't like it. this was made with pure hash so it was pure oil.

stacking new layers of butane made oil on top of dry layers will give the same thing. :eyesmoke: IMG_6496.jpg

If you want to evaporate your butane off faster place your bowl in a baking dish and run warm water from the tap through the baking dish. This brings the butane above its very low boiling point and it quickly boils off. Takes about 5 min. Totally safe and way faster than letting it evaporate on its own.
