ROSIN PRESSING TIPS
PLANT
MATERIAL
For the optimal yield and quality, select plant material that has been harvested
within 2 to 6 weeks of pressing.
Maintain your plant relative humidity at around 62%. Store your herbs in an
airtight containers with two-way humidity packs in a dark place. Allow at least
48 hours for the material to reach the optimal humidity level. Open the jars one
or two times per day to air them for a few minutes before re-sealing.
Grind or break up your starting material and compact it into a puck using a pre-
press mold.
Placingapuckintoalterbagisdescretionary.Filterbagshelptoproducea
high quality concentrate by removing plant contaminants from rosin. Pressing
withoutalterbagresultsinahigheryieldandalowerqualityproduct.
Don’ttrytoputtoomuchmaterialinsidethelterbag;doingsomaycauselter
bag blowout and reduce your yield.
Insertthepuckintoalterbagifusedandplaceitinsideafoldedparchment
CLEANING
PRESS PLATES
1. Make sure the press plates are completely cooled down before cleaning.
2. Apply a small amount of alcholol to a clean cloth and wipe down the plates
until clean. Use rubbing alcohol that contains at least 80% by volume of
isopropyl alcohol.
3. Wipe plates with a dry clean cloth.
4. Repeat these steps for cleaning all associated tools.

Use nylon mesh bags instead of stainless steel or polyester ones. Stainless
steel screens scratch press plates and cut yields. Polyester bags shrink with
heat and cause blowouts. Nylon screens are durable and expand up to 40%
without breaking making it a better choice for solventless extraction.
Filter bags are one-time use only unless you double or triple press the same
material.
Finemeshlterbagsareintendedfornermaterialssuchaskief,bubblehash,
or dry sift.

For better terpene preservation, press at 210 °Forbelow.Forower,start
pressing at 200 °F / 93 °C for 85 - 125 seconds and evaluate from there.

Constantly stir freshly pressed rosin with a warm dabbing tool until a creamy
texture is achieved. Whipped rosin, also known as “budder”, is more malleable
and easier to manage.
MAKING
BUDDER
Use a glass stamp to collect gooye rosin. Push the stamp down on the
extracted concentrate; it will pick up the material. Then scrape rosin from the
stamp with a clean stainless steel tool.
