I just don't understand why I need to heat it instead of letting it air dry after I freeze it?

Just try a batch like that sometime?
i have, air drying takes about a week to fully be effective with iso that ive found... just personal experience
not trying to knock what your doing or be a dick, im in here to help people.. leftover solvents = harmful !

easy way to try and tell... take your oil and move it around so the light reflects off it, if you see a rainbow like shimmer on the surface, youve still got solvents in it

hmm... don't remember seeing a rainbow reflection.

it dried into a wax like black goo substance, i rolled it into little balls and put it under weed, it got me fuuuuuucked up

i can see you're only trying to be informative for that i appreciate!

maybe the parchment paper helps it dry right ?

to be honest i cant comment on the parchment paper, ive never tried it! maybe it helped leach some of the iso?

yeah i think it actually did man, maybe you could try an overnight dry on PP and see what happens.

i'll vouch for the effectiveness in my one time experience, i let the ISO air dry under a fan for about 6 hours (i fell asleep) then i scraped up the goo with a razor and put it on the PP and froze it for a half hour, then air dried it that night

Ok, I tried to pm these but it's asking for the pic url. Soooooo.......

Pic 1 - my newest batch using Oakleys method.
Pic 2 - The remnants of my 1st batch (2nd overall) with Oakleys method.
Pic 3 - my very 1st batch ever.

I'd have to say, Oakleys method produced a cleaner better tasting product than the 1st method I tried.


edit - how do I delete the thumbnail image, it shouldn't be there?

wait until you get the method down, youll start producing oil like this.. just for those who are wondering, the oil in those dishes, is approximately 1/2" deep in those pictures ;)

The little ash tray fits the hot plate on my coffee maker perfectly.
The pics are somewhat deceiving.... using Oakleys method, the end product was MUCH lighter than the pics make it seem.
WAAAAAY better tasting too.

Rj that looks like the black goo I got lol

wish i had that much of it...
I'm pretty sure I washed it for too long - like 2 minutes - the shit tastes HORRIBLE.
I haven't made up my mind what to do with it yet though. Trash it? Save it? Give it away to the less fortunate, lol?

It tastes horrible? Mine didn't taste bad.

By washing it you mean putting it in warm water?
No. The act of using the solvent on the product is referred to 'washing' it.

Only my first batch I made tasted bad. I'm guessing because I washed it so long, undesirable elements were also dissolved.
Using Oakleys method, it came out much lighter in color and much better in flavor.

Oh, ya, I didn't do it for that long.

Could that be why?

I'm guessing ..... maybe?
I've read where people leave it soaking overnight though, too.
Also, I used Isopropanol instead of Isopropol Alcohol. Maybe that was the difference?

Like you, I'm still new at this.

Hopefully one of the more experienced people will chime in.

I thought Isopropanol was the same as Isopropylalcohol I guess not?

Wtf? lol that made me do some research and I'm still not sure...

Yeah I mean I'd document my procedure and show the final product of mine to see if more experienced people who know what they're doing with ISO hash could chime in if they're around...

I need to wait a couple months till next harvest though! :-P lol
