Try different temps when you squish. I use the lowest temp that will get the job done. The lower the temp the more flavor u get, the higher temp will get u more return....find the happy medium.....After @doublejj suggestion I tried squishing some rosin last night, cause I'm out of concentrate. 1.5ton arbor press, a couple 3"x4" ground steel plates I had, heated with a torch to ~180F per my laser thermometer. Too bad I folded the parchment wrong..I watched all the goodness run out side and onto to the plates, which weren't cleaned enough, imo, to collect off of . Gonna try round 2 later. I need to get away from solvent extraction seeing how it's the one thing I do that can still get me jail time, even though it's all personal use. Even ethanol extraction is frowned upon, which is my favorite method and seems to get the best flavors. I'm curious how the heat during squishing effects the final product. If this doesn't meet my standards, I'm gonna give bubble bags another shot.
