After pressing Just collect it all with the dab tool and then drop the rosin ball in the middle of a piece of folded parchment and press flat with a book etc

Thanks for the rep.

At risk of hijacking your thread:

I will continue this as a separate thread if there is interest.

I have the Ardent FX.

You put your mass into it, set it to decarb, and come back in a few hours. You can decarb in a regular oven if it holds temp well. There is no need to grind. You want to decarb in a sealed heat resistant container.

Next step you add oil, or butter of any edible type. With fresh flower, I use a Z per lb of butter, but since what you have left is very low % now, I'd try just a little bit more than enough to cover it. I also add a spoon of sunflower lecethin, because if you make cookies it helps it blend it.

Set it to extract, and come back when it shuts off. Pour off the liquid cannabutter into a mold, and strain whats left through a wire sieve. Discard the spent raffenite puck. When I am using flower instead of AVB I throw it back in with just 1 stick of butter to get the last bit out and make a stick of weak butter (I'm frugal)

Lacking the machine, you can put the butter and puck in a sealed mason jar, and set it in boiling water a few hours, but you still have to decarb.

I just throw them in the crockpot with the trim when I make butter. Same thing if you're making coconut oil or whatever. I just collect them in a bag until I'm ready for butter
