Hi,

I've seen some posts with pocket cured "ice wax". Can you explain the process? How long do you keep it in your pocket? What is being achieved by having it in your pocket? Is it ok to have it cure in the little food grade silicon deals (NoGoo Containers)? Basically I'm wondering what to do to achieve the sticky melty looking hash. It seems like this is the only way to accomplish?

I've never heard of pocket cures, but full melt for me happens with a couple grades of bubble hash. It's been a long time since I've done bubble bags, so I don't remember exactly what micron was best for melting.. but it never required any special cure to melt when I fired it up.

Hopefully somebody else will have more to add.

Thanks for the response Glaucoma. You must have been using some pretty fresh materials? Or did you use dry trimmings? Thanks for your time / expertise.

pocket cure is not a real cure per say, but if you leave something in your pocket in a bag or whatever for so long the heat generated from being in their rubbing around while you move will shape it and sort of decarb it. Not my favorite way to cure anything but I think the way people refer to it its sort of like a passive curing, hey im multitasking while i wear my tight hipster jeans, "Win". You know?

I've only hashed flowers once when they dried too fast to cure. I've hashed sugar leaf trim a few times. Both were the same in the end, more or less. Got melt from both. I never bothered to completely dry either the buds or the trim, although I'm sure the trim was likely pretty damn dry by comparison. I would put it in the freezer for a few days as well. All in all, I think I've made hash less than a dozen times total, so my expertise is minimal if you ask me. But I can say for sure, getting a full melt product does not require any special curing. If it does, then I did it by total mistake.

Now, whether or not 'curing' a different grade of hash will cause it to melt when it otherwise wouldn't is a question I can't answer. This is where I hope others can cite their experiences.

These days, I ISO wash the sugar leaf trimmings. What can I say, I like the dabs. =)

Any pics of the finished product? Sounds like you've always used your own materials? I think most of what I've been able to get my hands on is last year's trim. It's all been coming out looking like pressed kief instead of being wet and oily likes the hash I was going for
