okwell theres several differant methods alot better than ruining a whole bunch of good bud in a water bath
1. Finger Hash. take hands, place on either side of a flowering cola, with light pressure rub hands semi vigorously against the cola, repeat with multiple plants until residue builds up on hands, then rub hands together over a large paper or mirror to break the hash off the hands, collect roll into ball, etc...etc.... (fyi <-traditional Tibetan method i believe)
2. Kief Hash. buy a bowl with a screen in the bottom (farmers markets, health food stores, cooking supply). or make a box with screen in the bottom. courser screen knocks off more material including leaf material, fine screen gets less but its higher quality, med gives mostly hairs and tricombs, fine gives mostly tricombs. pour bud into bowl, shake bowl over large mirror (trust me, and turn the fan off
scrape into pile with razor blade, smoke as is, or roll into ball. if you prefer pressed hash for its density, take the ball you just made, place it between 2 small peices of wax paper, place wax paper between 2 quarters or nickels or some such, now squeeze with vice grips(not too hard), remove from paper, enjoy.
3. Hash Oil. But thats a leasson for another day
