Hash talk

Pressing on a wine bottle full of hot water has always given me the willies. Seems like it would break and I'd have to explain to the nurse who was stitching me up what I was trying to do. But that's what people do, eh?
I found this type of thing. Made for the job. Haven't used it but y'all are giving me inspiration. Maybe if I save up my hash?
First one that came from the search. What I can't find is a USB rechargeable heated one.

That's cool,I would have to buy 2, my girl would go on a cooking spree, I'd never get to use it if I only buy 1
 
No way. Hair curling things are women's beauty products. Women get overcharged for everything. As much as I hate how the costs of things are going up, I wouldn't want to be a woman, financially I mean. These purpose made rolling pins are less than $20.
 
I haven’t had any problems with the wine bottle but I get the concern.
There are extremely expensive (like 250UsD) glass ones made for hash making, but I’ll stick with my free option or investigate you idea.
Frenchy had actual math and science behind the boiling water and wine bottle technique, attempting to get the correct amount of decarb happening
 
Another 23.5 g. Pressed and rolled 😅
50/50
Ice Cream Cake CBD
&
Orange Cali Sherbert CBD

This time I split the run into wash 1-4 the premium, and wash 5-8 the lower grade before pressing.
You can see the slightly more green tint of the 5-8 wash material in the before photo. Gator and Ckbrew it’s between Turkey Bags, that’s what you use to press it. Wax or parchment won’t work with the heat and stickyness. The Turkey bag are made to hold a Turkey and go in the oven and the hash can be unstuck from it if you let it cool a bit after pressing

if you want to learn more you can go to Frenchy’s site

Smallgrow I get you, wanting to stay traditional. I didn't know there is a special hash making hot rolling pin. I can't imagine why they would be $250! Oh, wait. It's for dope. There has to be a markup.
My research doesn't turn up anything over $70 and many under $20. Expand your search to vintage glass pins. There are some as large as wine bottles.
Of course, free is often the best way to go. And like I said, it's what people do.

Curiosity led me to a short video of Frenchy C. telling why he chose the wine bottle. What I gathered was he could see what he was doing through the glass. Whether it had something to do with controlling temperature, I couldn't tell. Only that his water was at 90° for pressing.
 
I cut the plant and put it in the freezer, probably gonna do a mcgyver thing, fuck it,I won't have to buy ice,and ten characters lol 😀

I’ve found that technique when i was researching last month and the water is hot but not enough to shatter a wine bottle because they are made to withstand very hot temps, that’s why a wine bottle is recommended.
 
Me neither. I click links. If they want me to accept their terms to click further or verify my age, I'm outta there. If something pops and takes less than a minute of my time, I'm cool.
 
Ya seeing what your doing is always good but the main point of the bottle with water, is that boiling water is effectively always the same starting temperature and therefore you can roughly calculate the needed amount time and of heat to complete the chemical changes your after. Which is a Partial decarb of the hash.

PS the expensive rolling pin is from “The Press Club” , everything they sell is high end and marked up of course for their market.
 
Geez! The one I see is $150. No bloody way.
