Things I find interesting,cute,odd & confusing

I'm looking at buying a Rosin press to make my own carts. This was the first video I've seen that showed how to do it. You question the viability of this method......I know Knot.....So I go look more..lol.....another video of the same technique was used. It looks simple, no additives just rosin and heat. Is there something I'm missing? .....lol......other than that. I watched this one and it shows the same method.. I put this press in my cart. Not a lot of reviews on it and a couple say junk but others say it works fine...any thoughts?

I’ve been wanting one for a couple years now but the cost to get setup and started is pretty high.

Every time I make hash in my pollen press and oven some juice gets caught in a corner or oozes out. Reminds me of what Bandit and Stoney are able to do.

One day maybe.

i'll try it.. i am just not confident that just heating the rosin is what refines it. i have all the things to give it a try so i will.

the only limiting factor i see with that press is the size of the plates. i feel limited at my 3" so that 2.3 kinda worries me. without a bag that size might press 2 grams of flower at a time. not sure how much in a bag, i use the small 1.5" bags and still over squish my 3" wide plate sometimes. without a bag i can go 3.2 grams of flower and it will fill my 3x5 plate. the size of the ram or hydraulics doesn't matter that much, pretty much any hydraulic jack puts enough pressure to squish buds. i overkilled mine but that was because i wanted a gauge on it.

but if just heating it up to 180° for a day or two refines it than i'm all in.. i wonder what happens to the impurities in the rosin to make it so translucent?? they're trying to tell me that just heating it to 180 for a day changes the composition of the rosin and keeps it from drying hard the next day? i gotta see this for myself.

i could go on and on why i don't think it would work but before i do i will give it a try in the next couple days.. i'm almost out of squish so i gotta press more anyway. and it's not like i don't have a toaster oven just inches above my press and all....

i actually started out with a hair straightener and a wood clamp. a vise even works better... it would cost ya like $25 and you could have it anytime you want.
