Ha! I literally ordered dude bubble bags all mesh 5 gallon 8 bag set to be here on Monday!
Run them through the washing machine. Clothes washer. One as arrived and seperated with 1/4 strength laundry soap. Again without sap and turned iside out. Fuzzy bastards as experienced here. Helps with the tight ones fitting easier as well. Just rinse with a sprayer before use.
DO NOT MACHINE DRY!!!!!!!!
glad to hear you didnt waste the extra 200+! you'll be happy with the results for sure. i didnt weight my trim but id guess it was a couple ounce or so and i got about a 1/4 oz combined. the biggest haul of it was actually the nicest too so i was/am happy with what i wouldve otherwise just tossed out.
my only advice having only done it once. is do each bag separately and clean each bag as you go. i made the mistake of pouring it through each bag and letting them sit while i moved on to the next and by the time i finished scrapping the hash out of the first few, the others were starting to dry up and a lot stuck to the screens. and rinse them off with cold water as soon as your done to keep them clean. i ended up having to clean mine after the first go with isopropyl which i shouldnt have had to do if i had cleaned them while they were still wet and gave them a rinse.
Yeah I have made bubble before just was in need of some new bags. Thanks for looking out though man!
If they suck at least I'm only out about 60 bucks, a cheap lesson consider some I have paid for lol
I dont really consider bubbledude to be on the low end, but if they do suck, will you know yield wise?
I'm just saying, I had a set of really cheap ones and now i have boldt bags. I'm yielding way more with the boldts but i also changed up the method.
That's a good question... how would one ever even know the difference. I guess I would look for leaks or bad craftsmanship. Like if your trichrome filled water is leaking out of areas NOT through the mesh. I would think that's a dead give away.I dont really consider bubbledude to be on the low end, but if they do suck, will you know yield wise?
Or thread mixed in with your hash. So small you can't see with the naked eye. I'm just going by what other's have mentioned. It would make sense tho, I've seen whole sets for as low as $20. No way it's the same quality as the bigger guys.
I'll be honest I haven't really seen too many other bags and the ones i did see i wasn't exactly looking at quality, at the time i was just amazed to watch hash being made in front of my eyes haha so i couldn't tell you if they are better than others or not. I can tell you that for the price they seem really good. All of the seams are double stitched and looks like fairly thick thread. It's not super tidy stitching at the top there are some loose strands that could've been trimmed shorter but down by the screen is solid and again double stitched. the bag itself is like a canvas/nylon material idk its like canvas on the outside and waterproof film on the inside. I didn't see any contaminates in the hash and the screens held up to a decent squeeze, i didn't go too hard as i didn't want to stretch the screen.
Short quick washes using a machine. (Like 30 second washes to begin) I use more water than ice and shoot for 12 washes total. I follow Frenchy Cannolis method. Subcool started a great thread on here all about it with Frenchy's input.
The washing machine is killer. Way easier. Look on walmart.com under portable washers. They're $70 compared to $200 that's marketed as a hash washer lol
A long process. A lot of clean up afterwards. Good yields. Modification highly suggested. A fairly steep learning curve for best results. Not unhappy with it. Just not impressed either.
Was your mod the better tubing?
