« Back to Trimming & Pressing tips

Why should I Press?

• • You Press to remove moisture, to determine the density (important for the rate of combustion) and to compress the material into one piece. Heat and pressure are most important the elements in the process.

 

• • When you Press the transport of the material and consumption are easier

 

• • Soft Pressing is recommended to avoid impurities in the material

 

• • Gentle mechanical pressing is the only way to obtain a crusty surface, which protects the material from oxidation and consequently also from the decay of the active agent

 

• • When resin is pressed without too much heat exposure (the most efficient way is to use a hairdryer) hardly any resin glands will burst and the natural coloring of the high-quality crystals won¹t change

 

• • Moderate heat of 170° Fahrenheit (75° Celsius) maximum is required, since fresh THC contained in the material comes as acid and, in its chemically neutral form, needs to be activated to take the desired psychoactive effect
