Did a squish today
5.5 mins start to finish with slow heatsoak to start
Only went to 2000 at very end this time
1-1500 most of press
10.5% return oily or soft butter consistency, freezer block to collect
I cut end seam off the bag then cut it in half
I body weight pre-press 7g to get it to fit the vice
Pre-pressed in vice to a nice compact little puck
Put in half bag and then repeated with another 7g
Put 2nd chip into the same half bag and removed the plastic tabs and folded the ends
It made up the thickness of a normal body weight pressed 10g puck and just fit in the plates nicely
Bag burst in a few places this time but didn't crumble any plant matter into the rosin
Nice clean rosin but slightly less yield than last press
Will try same but less pressure next time
If less yield than need more pressure
If same or better will continue to reduce pressure till yields suffer
Vice pressing is useful to get more in
Didn't stop burst this time though
