Making hash

May be I've put this in the wrong section but i am a 'newbie' so here goes anyway,
I'm gonna try to make some hash and read that i need a silk screen that has
between 125-137 lines per inch,well I've been hunting on ebay and all that i could find was this-16"x12" screen. Made using monofilament 43T mesh,couldn't find anything about 'lines per inch' so can someone please tell me - is this screen OK ?

I know nothing about printing and the site about making hash mentioned that the screen should cost
$10 to $30,so may be its the US way of measuring the screens and the UK measures differently ?

Thanx

a good way of making hash that i have used before is to:
1. get 2 bottles of Isopropyl alcohol 90% conc.
2. get weed or stems and grind them into a fine dust
3. mix the two and let sit for about 12 hours in a plastic container covered.
4. filter the plant substance from the mixture using coffee filters or any other filter. all the THC is in the liquid.
5. pour the liquid into a pot and evaporate using another pot with boiling water, or just put the pot w/ mixture in it on a very low heat. This may take 2 hours or more to fully evaporate.
5. heat (or evaporate) until all the liquid is gone, leaving a coat of hash oil on the inside of the pot. Now scrape that shit up and you have got some hash oil!

he probably doesnt want to use that shitty chemical isopropyl.

m8, i am going to make some hash as well and was wondering where to get a silk screen. i had a look in tescos but they only sell like normal sivs (sp) so im prolly gonna get 1 of them and hold it over a silk screen.

i think u should be able to get some from a material shop. u know like if u want curtains made or something. im just gonna go in an ask for one. worst that can happen is they say no. if they dont they will probably be able to tell u where u can get them.

also, dont know where u live but my town has a market, so im prolly gonna look in there as its most likely gonna be cheap as well.

Thanx for the tip but smokeh is correct - I'd rather avoid using chemicals.
Thanx anyway.

just been looking thru uk420's hash making forums and somebody else asked the same question, google "selectasine" its a printing supplies store, they do the 43t monofilament for 8pound something per metre, people on uk420 say it works well for them made into a homemade wooden frame, and its on chislehurst rd, chislehurst kent so not too far from u... :peace:

hmm im only going to try find something cheap. just somethin that will do the job as this is my 1st an last grow so im not splashing out.

- this depends on how much cuttings etc i get from my plants after harvest.

let me know what u ppl use/using, where u got it from and how much it was.

cheers

she used to. we used to smoke together, drink together, go out together. it was great. once we had been going out awhile she stopped smoking weed but drinking more :s bit of a rough patch. she didnt mind me smoking pot until she got pregnant, now shes all like, buck ur idea's up, uve got a child to look after now,lol. i was gonna quit smoking pot after my harvest but now ive had to get a 2nd job to pay all the bills for our new house an everythin.

by day i work in an office and by night i deliver dominoes pizzas ;) i know ill just end up getting a sneaky 1 in whilst delivering a pizza somewhere :p thanks for the congratz!

Cheers smokeh,and you 2.
Hunted the whole of Folkestone town centre and found nothing,so i went into the head shop and he suggested i try the 'Honey-Dust Grinder' (£8) comes with 3 different interchangeable grades of filter mesh,also popped into Tesco and brought some coffee filter papers (about 80p),I'll check out Canterbury for the silk screen next.
Karl
PS.The bud should be dry enough for me to try making some hash within a couple of weeks,I'll post some pix of the results on here.Gonna try the 'blender method' and also just dry sieving it - like in the YouTube vid.
