Rosin Tech

What straighteners have ceramic plates? I've been collecting them for awhile now to steal the plates and heating elements, and every single one (from cheap ones to high end ones with screens) all have (what appear to be extruded) aluminum plates.
Aluminum is better at evenly spreading the heat around which is probably why it's used over steel. And as the previous poster mentioned steel would be horrible for a nail. Although I do find it interesting that people don't seem to mind the vape pens which use Kanthal wire, being made mostly of iron.

I usually get a 50% return from sift.got 80% one time with 9lb hammer flowers to sift.
did you cure your material for a while. I found the longer the cure the better the yield. Even with flower rosin.

that's a good yield for sift. That's almost 30% return .
I usually get 20%. Then 50% of that becomes rosin.

yeah 2 presses. Some times 3. I only get something on the 3rd press half the time.
as soon as my bubble finishes drying I will try pressing with a 90µ screen. See if that increases yield or change in quality. Everyone that uses regular tea bags (iced tea) gets an 80% return almost every time.

I believe he said just normal tea bags, like Lipton. I wanna try that method as well. Maybe I'll try the 110u silk screen.

Teabag tech is where its at I cut my blotting screen up from my bubble bags and sewed it together so I got a 25micron teabag that I press with my Remington hair straightener(it has aluminum plates hyroot 
) I saw some people use a hot t-shirt press or a pneumonic press I been looking into purchasing a good press but with no youtube videos of anyone ever using a hydraulic press I have been hesitant to make a purchase.

make sure ro use either nylon or kevlar thread.
nylon - 485°
kevlar - 800°
my Remington has ceramic plates. Its practically brand new...
ceramic can be polished to look almost like aluminum. But aluminum would burn hair. They don't make them with straight aluminum. If they use aluminum. They coat them with ceramic. The coated ones are lower quality. They crack and break.
aluminum has a lower melting point too.
