First time dry ice

Finally did my first dry ice run. Used a 220 bag. Lots of shaking. pressed it in a vise. How can I make more solid into a nice gummy hash

Turning that into nice gummy hash is going to be damn near impossible at this point.

There is just far too much contaminant in that. Dry ice hash really isn't the way to go if you want a gummy melty hash. I would say next time try some bubble bags or something.

Get yourself a hair straightener , parchment paper and a blotting screen make some small bags place hash tightly inside place the bags with hash inside parchment and press with hair straightener at 300-350F with all your force (step on it and press down) this will give you some 7* full melt rosin.

Any options other than rosin or butane

Well done!

If you are talking about the putty sytle hash that the afghans make thenbit is just a matter of adding a little water and some heat and some elbow grease to work it and knead it like dough...

I posted a vid in this concentrates section that shows how...

The vid is just a little ways down ...maybe next page...

How much trim?

Wet or dry?

How much yield? Looks like a shit ton...

Add water!?!?! That's a good way to turn your shit moldy.

Well... they do it in the vid i posted....seems to work fine for them...

Probably because they also add heat and it evaporates....

I guarantee you that they are trapping moisture in that hash, causing mold. Simply applying a bit of heat, does not ensure that the water is evaporated.

Ask any hash maker that's been doing it long enough, and they will tell you moisture is the enemy.

Maybe some heat and work it,I agree the water doesn't sound good

Watch the vid. They been at it for a long long while and they export it vast distances where it waits to be sold over periods of months and even years... so theyre doing something right...

So about a 10% return.... i usually get about 15%, which means yours is probably a lot "cleaner" than mine. Shoule be tasty smoke...

I'm not sure how well it will work but you might want to try giving it a static sift on a 110 lpi (not to be confused with micron) screen.




and yes whatever you do don't add water to it. WORST ADVICE EVER

At least watch the vid to find out how much, how and what follows...

I mean the OP isnt asking how to clean it. I think hes asking how to make the putty.

watch the video,its an interesting method of making hash.The foot pressing had me rolling tho, toe hash lol

If you want to make that In a more putty type hash this is how some people make crappy low quality bubble more sticky and putty like. Wrap hash in parchment then vac seal bag then wrap bag with seran wrap to make sure no leaks. Place the wrapped hash in a pot of water just under boiling for 10 min when you unwrap it it should be a a gummy putty hash.

You could try sifting it through a smaller micron bag. I think I read about somebody doing that to refine their dry ice hash.

Its funny how current trends (likr "full melt bubble rosin etc) bias how people read. I dont see where the OP said he wanted to refine his hash to a "cleaner" product. He said he wanted a more "gummy" hash, which to those of us who have had access to the afghan "putty hash" and nepalese "rope hash" has nothing to do with full melt and so on.

So i guess we should leave it to the OP to clarify?? Then we can offer advice i suppose...

The climate for that area is able to keep mold from really growing...so no wonder it's not a lot of water.
