i need the bigger bags. i ran 60 gallons thru 5 gallon bags. that's a lot of pouring and lifting. my back hurt by the time i was done. for some reason i never thought of a rubbermaid garbage can. i'm aware of the larger hash bags though. looks like i have 1 more purchase to make.

Hey fdd2blk, After many years of using the 32 gallon bags we figure out that using the 5 gallon bags in the 32 gallon trash can works the best. You think you were tired after pulling on the 5 gallon bags wait and try and lift 20 to 32 gallons of water in a 32 gallon bag over and over.
If you are using the washing machine you can easily fill the 5 gallon bags sitting in a 32 gallon trash can. Once the bags get full turn off the machine and shake you bags until the water has drained into the 32 gallon trash can. Do this over and over until the machine is empty. If you have a helper running the machine and hose and you shake the bags and the same time the water is draining then it will go very fast. You and the helper can take turns at this. If you 32 gallon bucket gets full of water then you simply remove the lid with the 5 gallon bucket and bags and place it on another empty 32 gallon trash can and continue.

I reccomend spending money on 2 / 32 gallon trash cans with good wheels and lids. Rubbermaid preferred. Custom fitting the lids to fit 5 gallon paint buckets.

Next we will discuss how to dry your wet resin.

my eyes still burn.....

But about the ice... we cant get enough! Always ice! Ice, Ice, Ice! I think i need a ice maker!!!!!!!ahhhhhhh....!!!!!20lb 20lb 20lb never enough!!!!


sorry for venting.

aqua - excellent advice. i really like how you cut the hole in the lid to fit the bag.

as far as drying goes; i hand press mine as soon as i'm done running it all. i use the pressing screen and press out just enough water to allow the resin to stick together. then i sit down and start hand squeezing all the water out. i squeeze it flat then fold it then squeeze it then fold it......... i saw the guys with the meat grinder. i love that idea.



budforever - yes, please find me an ice machine. i use about 100 lbs at a time. to find a machine that can put out that volume is rather expensive. i've been trying to find a used one from a restaurant.







my buddy stopped by last night and gave me some more work. he would have otherwise thrown this in the garbage. i'll go thru it all and pick out all the fan leaves for compost. this is one of the rare times where my wife actually helps. she likes to search for lost nuggets in the trim.



hindu skunk -

Please do not press your wet resin. You need to absorb the water out of the wet resin by placing the bag with the wet resin on a shami, or a stack of paper towles. Then place your wet resin on a drying screen (as you see in the photo) to properly dry, never press your resin while it is still wet. Water will be trapped inside your resin and will never properly dry. It will mold after time, guranteed, plus you are selling water to your customers. Not good.

Dry powdered resin is worth more to the customer, the customer can always press it there self when they want. Resin powder burns easier.

The meat grinder extrusion press was our idea. The resin powder was dried properly using the shami method and then left to completly dry for a minimum of 7 days on a drying rack before it was extrusion pressed using a comercial meat grinder
This was an experiment and I would not use it again.

You can always make your own ice, buy filling ziplock bags full of water and placing them in the freezer the night before. Then all you have to do is break up the ice with a hammer. You can actually stack alot of bags full of water in a normal kitchen freezer.

Yes... that is soooo smart! im doing it right now! Thanks Aqua lab tech! that added with the ice i buy will mabey be enough!

fdd-- look on craigslist for an icemaker=) And that Hindu Skunk trim looks like the 6oz sitting in my cupboard waiting for me to make hash still.. Damn I think Im going to some some hindu skunk now that sounds yummmmy...=)

Thanks for all the info. What did you use to emboss the fdd logo? Looks wicked.

Those Brute Rubbermaid trash cans are the best cans on the market. For trash or hash.

This is just a guess, but I would say he has a set of metal letter stamps. I have some I use for stamping stuff in metal. I weld custom Jeep bumpers and parts and I stamp letters in the parts so its easier for customers to put together my parts.

what a baddass *points at fdd

Nice work fdd...how much ice per load?

So FDD quick question for ya.. What would you say get like per oz of shake or such how many grams of hash??? Im contemplating making hash or butter with this 5-6ozs I have of nice trimmings from the last two crops=)

I think I rememeber him saying about a gram of hash for every 10 grams of shake

hmmm not too bad..

so fdd, is that hash you make like REALLY bomb? so how long would a gram size chunk last you? you said its A+

i used 60 pounds of ice to get started then added more as needed. used 100 pounds total for 1 run. i get 10%+ back when using good bud trim. a gram lasts me a looooong time. i don't smoke a whole lot of it because it always lays me out. i smoke it once or twice a week in the late evenings. usually 3 or 4 hits outta the bubbler and i'm good.

sweet thanks for the info... I might be borrowing cali's bubble bags=)

would you look at this?

looks like a dessert
