Trimaco 35in. X 166ft. Red Rosin Paper 35167

Product Information

Either dab the rosin right away, or scrape it into a container, such as an airtight glass jar, for storage

Apply firm pressure for 3-7 seconds; you should hear a sizzle before releasing pressure, which indicates oil has melted off the cannabis If you’re cold-pressing, which results in more rich terpenes, but usually results in a smaller yield, set the temperature between 160°F – 190°F. Press for one to five minutes. Cold-pressed rosin is normally more of a battery consistency.When pressing hash or kief into rosin, we recommend using a method called directional flow, or directional fold, which is a way of folding parchment paper when making rosin to get a clean, consistent press.

Use your rosin collection tool to scrape the rosin off the parchment paper, and store it as you please.

Once the temperature has been reached, we introduce the prepared envelope with the bud and the filter between the plates of the press, taking care not to burn ourselves. Begin by choosing a rosin filter bag with a micron screen size that’s right for you. Choosing the right micron screen size will help determine the quality and yield of your rosin. The lower the micron screen size, the finer the filter is. Therefore, the lower the micron filter size, the lower your yield will be, but the higher its quality.There are dozens of models of presses for making rosin, with different sizes, shapes and powers. You might think that the more tons of pressure the press can apply, the better, but this is not always the case, as 10 tons is more than enough.

Insert your filter bag full of cannabis flower, kief, or hash into the PurePressure pre-press mold. Close the lid, then push down on the top with all your weight. Take off the lid, and remove the filter bag. The cannabis flower, kief, or hash in the filter bag should now be flattened down and compact.

The amount of cannabis, kief, or hash you put into this bag depends on how much rosin you want to make. Using the Helix Pro, you can press up to 15 grams of flower, and 50+ grams of kief and bubble hash. Photography by Connor Fyfe Step 4 | Preparing The Rosin Press: As with other extraction techniques, the return of the rosin depends on several factors. The first one is the quality of the raw material, if it is a bud with little resin it is impossible to achieve a great weight with our concentrate. The second factor is the temperature during the pressing process, the higher the temperature, the higher the return, but of poorer quality. You can also cook edibles with rosin, which is very popular in the USA, Canada and other countries. In this case remember to decarboxylate the rosin before mixing it with your favorite recipe, to activate all the cannabinoids. BHO can give you a little more return and power than Rosin, but the danger of working with gas is a point against it. Purging BHO is a rather delicate subject and difficult to carry out correctly, since the balance between cleaning all the gas without removing the terpenes is not easy to achieve. The time it takes from when you make the BHO extraction until it can be consumed is much longer than that of the rosin.

There are pneumatic presses that facilitate the process of extracting rosin, as they work with a compressor that is just a push of a button, without the need for any extra effort. When rosin is still hot it is difficult to remove it from the paper, so we recommend putting it in the freezer for a few minutes, this is the way to stabilize the rosin. Once it has cooled down it is easy to remove it with the help of a dab or similar, with the tip we separate a little bit of rosin carefully, it is the most difficult part, because then that rosin that you have in the tip of the dab helps you to remove the rest more easily. Rosin technique is quite simple, you just have to heat the heat plates of the press until they reach a temperature of about 194º F (90º C). While they are heating up, we take a dry bud and introduce it into the filter, measuring between 73 and 190 microns, we take a piece of rosin paper and wrap everything up in a kind of envelope. Directional flow does not need to be used when pressing flower, as the rosin created will be minimal—simply folding nugs in wax paper will do. When hash or kief is pressed, the amount of rosin created is much more substantial.Electric rosin presses are also very comfortable, as are the pneumatic ones. They do not require any effort, but they are not as powerful and are quite expensive. Rosin can be made and consumed in less than 5 minutes, it is better to let it rest, but if you want you can try it. Apart from speed, the safety of working with the press has nothing to do with using flammable gas. Rosin does not need to be purged, which makes the post-extraction process much easier.
