Detail WOULD be good thanks
I've only just started to make butane hash, 7 batches so far. My results are good but I'm sure it'll get better as I learn more techniques.
My main issue is handling the oil itself, it's so messy.......most hash makers would probably be horrified if I told you how I make my oil a solid.
crazy, I thought it was pretty self explanatory.
you play with it and rub it on your fingers until it finally comes off in a ball or what?? even when I was a beginner and put my oil straight into vial... it was shatter. always needed to be heated up in order to do anything with it, or its like digging at glass.
buy a stainless steel dish from wal mart, a pair of forceps, and a few straight blade window scraper blade things... under 20$ and youve got the ultimate oil scraping set up. no fuckin around, no mess and sticky fingers and tools.
also, buy yourself a bottle of 70% iso to clean all that sticky shit.. nothing worse than a sticky lighter, sticky forceps, sticky mouthpiece on bong, sticky dome, sticky fingers, etc..... one wipe of 70% iso cleans everything back to perfection. or 99% if you can spare it.
your oil should turn to a solid on its own pretty much. you might not be purging it enough if its staying a sticky goopy mess. 110F for around 6 hours. it also helps if its in a very very thin layer. more surface area the better. keep it below 120 or 110F though.
flash the BACK of the blade for 1 second, back off, then another 1 second flash. repeat 2 or 3 times and the oil drips right off the blade, onto parchment paper or whatever you want. there shouldnt ever be a mess or anything getting sticky if you do it this way.
