ok I am looking to see if I can make wax from leaves and trim... I am looking to heat press with a high line press like a terminator that has high psi to get the most wax out. I have a end less supply of trim I can get mix with some leaves. So is it possible? thanks for your help. looking to get some answers before I spend like 5000

I'm curious what psi you need to press trim successfully. I can tell you at 2000 psi it is tough, better to make bubble hash and then press that. Good luck!

even tho this does not help me lol. I am looking at a 15-20 ton press. I'm pretty sure 1 ton is 2000 lbs per sq inch psi. so 20 ton would be 40000 ibs per sq inch. this is what I am looking at getting. There more pressure you squeeze the more you get I have heard.

Trim works fine just produces less in the end. Only because trim has less crystals.
15-20 ton is a good choice for pressing. 3x5 plates....your good to go then

I use trim for my own personal rosin. If the trim is good...no issues. Just less return than buds of course.
The bigger the press the more possibilities...if you have the cash ...buy big.....you can always use it with less pressure.
