That might work if you don’t care how much plant wax and chlorophyll you will end up with, not to mention tiny bits of weed that will be difficult to remove.
In my opinion, a quick wash does a better job than mashing it. The good stuff comes off and the other stuff doesn’t so much.
As for filters, get a filter bag; it is made usually of parachute like material, with a tight mesh. I have a set that came together for making hash. It doesn’t absorb anything.
However, caution please. Alcohol is a powerful solvent but it is also highly flammable; it has a low flash point and anything, a spark, static electricity, can ignite it.
You must not put your hands or other parts of your anatomy into it or be around it without adequate ventilation and protection for your eyes and skin.
If you use the Magic Butter machine, don’t use the heat with the alcohol.
I use a magnetic stirrer and slowly evaporate the alcohol in a highly ventilated space. At the end, I let the last tablespoon of alcohol evaporate naturally off the heated plate. If I’m using it for vape oil, I add terpenes only, then bring it up in a syringe for application later.
