Yea i fukn jus found out tht was the reason i didnt wana use the wax paper so figured the parchment paper work but of course not it workd like shit lol. So what kind of paper shud i get?
Burns super nicehad to step back though and didn't finish it in one sitting. Good news is I have some tasty leftovers.
I’ve been thinking the same thing.
Look for silicone coated parchment or PTFE (teflon) coated paper. From many previous posts, it appears 'Oil Slick' is the gold standard, but very expensive.
Stay away from Terp Proof. I tried it as they claim it's re-useable. It's not. It usually rips the first time you attempt to use it in a rosin press.
I use "10M Non Stick Parchment Paper Silicone Baking Mat Roll Kitchen Tool Greaseproof for Cake Tiner Toaster Oven Microwave" purchased through Amazon's Canadian website. I got some in the other day:
Each roll makes about 65 15 x 30cm (6 x 12") sheets for 3" x 5" plates, so the cost is about 31¢ CAD per squish.

There's been lots of discussion here about what to use. Others will chime in with their preferences, or you can use the search function to find other suggestions.
If you use a c clamp with your pre press you shouldn't get a speck of 'debris' ! Slow, steady pressure
Good luck

@Blazinjones that’s a great squish for the first one. It takes a little practice, but you’re definitely on your way. I use Raw parchment or the Costco “cheap” stuff. Also, you’ll want to experiment with temps. You smashed at 200...try 180 for fresh stuff and go up from there. I like my weed dried, not necessarily fully cured for the first squeeze, but dry for sure. While curing, it’s best to try and keep the RH somewhere in the 60s...mine are never at perfect RH, but it helps significantly. I use the bovida packs to try and keep it up...pun intended.
Oh yeah and...I’d hit it!
The Virgin Coconut Oil was more expensive than the processed liquid oil.
For my previous batches, I used the liquid oil (President's Choice) without the lecithin. The capsules all seemed to hit the same.
The test batch I made last night seem to hit a little harder, but they all seemed to hit equally.
Today I made up a batch of 116 capsules with only the GDP rosin (and oil + lecithin) in it
I also re-heated the previous batch and put it into capsules. I got 107 capsules from it.
The small nug jars will hold more than 150 size 2 capsules.
I have a nice set of Irwin quick grips I use a lot for just about everything around the shop.
It’s a binding agent. I believe it helps with evenly distributing the THC molecules throughout the entire mixture. That’s a guess. I do notice I get high a little quicker with lecithin added. Maybe that’s psychological...I’m a freaking placebo!
That sounds better. I like it!
