What did i miss a how to GBkief thread or something... How is it prepared and things man? I can get a silk screen but dont know the previuos steps.Im a newb still.
I get paranoied and erase all my pictures...
It's not worth it to have a thread if i am going to erase the pics..lol..
But it's easy...
Just lay your trim on a dish to dry...
You deff want it dry enough to crumble... but there is an overdry condition that will crumble into finer pieces...
Avoid the OVER dry condition as it will aloow more leaf material through the screen...
Some people also freeze their dry trim before screening... supposed to help loosen the trichs from the leaf..
I've done both and didn't really notice a difference...
Though I have gathered small amounts by freezing fresh trim and rubbing the individual leaves on the screen... (jonsen...lol..)
Crunch up your dry trim and start working it over the screen... back and forth... tapping on the screen... crumbling it as fine as you can...
The less you do it, the less you will have, but the lesat amount of leaf will have passed... so just a little bit of screening will give you better, tastier blonde kief..
The more you do it... the more you get, but also the more leaf material you get.. thus greener looking and tasting Kief results...
Now you can sprinkle it over the bowl or joint... or you can press it..
I put my kief in a cig cellophane... tape it shut (one small piece will do)
Wrap that in wet but not dripping newspaper... tape that...
another layer of wet but not dripping newspaper... and tape it..
Stick it in an oven at 100 to 120F max for 5 to 10 minutes...
Once out of the oven, I use two flat steel bars..(flat prybars) and a pair of VISE-GRIPS...
I keep tightening the pliers until I just cant anymore...
After I get it as tight as I can possibly get it... I let it cool under pressure...
Unwrap and smoke...
I usually just sprinkle it over my bowls... but that will change when I get my hands on one of these...lol..
Oh yeah!
Pressing Hash with the Piecemaker Pocket-Press
What you will need:
- Hash.
- Piecemaker Pocket-Press.
- 2 x Pressing Foils.
- 2 x Stamp Inlays.
- 1 x Bench Vice.
- 1 x Hair Dryer.
The hair dryer and bench vice can be found in almost any household or hardware store, and the Piecemaker Pocket-Press and press inlays can be obtained through our affiliate sponsor
EDI.
Open the bottom of the Piecemaker slide in your first press inlay (in this case the ying and yang sign) and then the pressing foil as shown in the below images. Notice the other press inlay (
leaf pattern) and pressing foil ready to go in on top once we have filled it with the hash to press.
Now pour in the hash you are pressing and place in the other pressing foil, then the press inlay with the pattern facing in as shown in the below images.
Now screw the press down with your hands as tight as you can get it and wait 10 seconds then repeat till you can't screw it down anymore. Grab your hair dryer and warm the end with your compressed hash inside, once warm hold the Piecemaker in your vice firmly and screw down as far as you can with it now secured in the vice and slightly warmed. This should give you a compression of around 3000kpa. Let it sit for a few minutes at maximum compression before releasing the pressure and opening the bottom. Once the bottom is unscrewed carefully screw the tap in again till your compressed hash slides out as shown below.
Now just peel off the pressing foils and your all done!
