Scared to use it haha.
Parchment paper not wax.So where do we go from here… Just get wax paper and weed and hook it up and just follow a vid I watched which went over actually a lot of what we went over here.
Pre heat for 2 mins 187 top 183 bottom with weed bottle necked and then slowly over course of 5-8 mins go up in psi till it is about 2.5 to 3 tons just increasing as rosin oozes out (oooh boyy!) and then release. 3.5 runs just to get started and on to the next level of enjoyment of this.
Get good heavy weight parchment paper. Anything from your typical grocery store usually sucks. Amazon has some good ones.So where do we go from here… Just get wax paper and weed and hook it up and just follow a vid I watched which went over actually a lot of what we went over here.

I bought what one suggested here, exactly the same stuffParchment paper not wax.
I think you were the one who suggested a brand which I copied and bought I got all microns needed, silicon 3.5-7 g containers, the whole shebamGet good heavy weight parchment paper. Anything from your typical grocery store usually sucks. Amazon has some good ones.
I would also get filter bags. 90 & 120 maicron are probably the most useful. You CAN press without a filter bag, but you WILL end up with plant material in your rosin.
I usually pre-heat way longer than that. An hour maybe? You really want those plates to settle in on the temperature you set.
My presses usually go pretty quick. Press to about 1/2 ton for 1 minute. Then another minute around 1 ton. Then it's 3-5 minutes at full pressure (2.5 tons) and then done. Release pressure and collect your rosin.
A freeze plate can also be helpful when the rosin doesn't gather well and sticks too much to the parchment. A quick set on the freeze plate will fix that, but be careful, those little shards of rosin will go flying if you're not careful.
you're all set then! i'll add not all strains or plants will press the same. Some give you nothing, and others dump like crazy. Certainly not a steep learning curve, but you will kinda develop a feel for it.I think you were the one who suggested a brand which I copied and bought I got all microns needed, silicon 3.5-7 g containers, the whole shebam
just need to break them apart, like peanut to marble sized calyx clusters. Grinding it will actually hurt yield, like it gets too compacted or somethingDoes anyone grind it to shake or how big buds? My second press was with .3 nugs which seemed better than one gram buds or bigger.
