1 gal buckets can be a bit harder to find-most I see have a pouring crease which makes 1g bags hard to fit over, but 5 gal you can get at HD or anywhere for like $3...you can do small runs with the 5 g bags but I suggest not bothering getting a full 8 bag set -you only need the 40, 74, 90, 130 micron sizes and you can almost do without the 40 on a small bubble hash run- the above thread mentions Frenchy's bags he gets custom made and only uses 3- really great thread btw have fun! Can't wait til I have enough trims again for a bubble hash run; I've been making do much BHO these dayz but I do miss puffing on full melt
