It's a popular method for making hash in Nepal and India. The hand rubbed hashish are called 'Charas' and it takes some skills to do it and a LOT of pot. A few times making hash this way you would have Popeye arms. Also, I need to practice my drumming skills and also get a work out at the same time. I would like to try the silk screen method and do a comparison because I feel that a good dry sieve method would yield much more hash than with the bubble bag method. Now, I am no expert on dry sieving using silk screens but there are some videos on youtube where these guys in Morocco are getting some pretty decent hash from using a silk screen stretched over a bowl with weed plants, stalks and all on top, covered with a plastic bag and a bungie cord and beating the hell out of it with sticks. With dry sieve all these varying grades of hash would be mixxed together I presume. With the best hashish pulled out of the last bag with the smallest micron size holes. Out of 7 bags I will only pull a gram of hash or so out of the last 3 bags. Typically the smaller the micron size the more potent and pure the hash is. These bags range in size from 220 micron for the 'work bag' on down to 25 micron and each bag yields hash of varying quality.

The reason I ask is the original question was will any silk screen work or do i need a specific size. I'm wondering what size the micron size of the silk screen is because that will determine how much hash you get. A lot of people swear by the dry sieve method. I'm wondering if the hash made by the silk screen is as good as the bubble bag hash.

Feel free to ask further questions if I have been unclear or vague in any of the information included here. All he really got was a head ache, until I felt sorry enough for him to let him smoke some of the oil/powder mix. I did use the spent material to fuck with my roommate's mooch brother, by leaving it out when I knew he was going to come over and watching him try to catch a buzz on it. While the spent material is very low in potency, I was able to get 'some' oil out of it via the honey extractor, but not enough to justify the expense of the butane needed to do so. This was a good way to store the powder, but I did have to chip it off of the disc to put it in my pipe.Īfter I discovered the honey extractor, however, I mixed the powder in with the oil and made what some folks call 'earwax,' which you can read about in another thread in this forum.

I purchased a 'Pollen Press' from a local smoke shop and made the discs that you spoke of in your post, but without using any heat. I have never gotten 'soft gooey stuff' using this method, because when I tried to form the powder into a mass, the trichomes just stuck to my fingers. Fortunately, this is a very nice way to enjoy the powder. Unfortunately, the only way to do so at this point is to load a bowl and sprinkle some of the powder over the load and go to town. Be sure to scrape the bottom of the screen over the cookie sheet before you dump the exhausted material, as the trichomes will tend to accumulate there.Īfter you have gone through about an ounce of material, you will probably feel that 'enough is enough,' and you will want to sample the fruits of your labor. There will come a point when you will know it is time to use a fresh supply. What I do is scrape the powder to one end of the cookie sheet, so that I can see when the material is almost spent. You should probably not work the material too much.

This is a pretty tedious process, so I usually put something good on TV, like Family Guy to help pass the time. I then put a few grams into the screen frame and, keeping it above the cookie sheet, I rub it around and let the powder fall through, catching it on the cookie sheet. A couple of twists in a 'hocky puck' grinder usually will be enough, especially if most of the lumber is removed. I grind up the weed to a fairly fine consistency, but not TOO fine, or else I get too much plant matter in with the good stuff. I use my old plastic Kiss Army membership card to scrape the powder together when I am finished. I use an ordinary, non-stick, cookie sheet to catch the trichomes. I used a silk screen that was about 6' X 8', with nylon screen material and a wooden frame (very similar to the one you have pictured in your post). I have made a LOT of silk screen hash and can offer some tips that were gained from first-hand experience.
