You'll have a certain quantity of leaf mater in the sift, you can see this by the colour.I put all my trim together, buds, fan leaves, etc. Then I give it a hand crushing before I do the run. I'll check to see how heavy this other block I have is; it's definitely something I think you'd want to do once you had an amount saved up. Do you think a guy should decarb before doing something like this?
I'm not sure what we're going to do with the final product; I've got a bottle of vegetable glycerin I've been meaning to open and we really like the canna coco caps. @briman suggested I try some rosin press; I've never done that before and I don't quite get it. I have a hair straightener and I tried it once but I think my bud was too wet, it DID leave a tiny bit of oil on the parchment but I ended up with a compressed hockey puck bud that smelled really good (but that was about it.)
With the quantity you have you could be there a while with hair tongs, caps sounds a good idea.
You could put it through some iso and strain through a coffee filter that will take out most of the plant matter.
I'm wondering about about the Gumby water method, the plant matter should float and the resin sink.
You have enough to try a few things and even if you decide to just do one thing, do a trial run first, don't wanna put all your eggs in one basket.
There are a number of commercial rosin presses available from $300 to $3999 for top of the range pneumatic press.
I posted a couple yesterday in Live Stoners but googling will find more,find one you like or can afford and then google it for reviews, not all rosin presses are made equal.
In the hash thread someone mention dry ice extract soventless wax AKA GOB (Get Off Butane) here is a method and video if your interested.
It is hereby declared that this glory made from dry ice extract shall be called GOB (Get Off Butane).
Here is a step by step for making GOB:
1. Put keif (dry ice hash) in blender with RO water and blend til the water is foamy
2. Pour through micron filter (45 micron screen used in this demo) onto flat Pyrex
3. Heat Pyrex (not exceeding 140 degrees Fahrenheit) til 80-90% of the water is cooked off then immediately refrigerate (for about 45-60 minutes depending on the amount of water left).
4. Once the contents are dried, scrape the resin from the Pyrex.
5.Enjoy! This stuff is potent. Please comment if this worked well for you.
Here is another vid
I haven't triesd these myself and there is possible imporvements that might be made but this all I have now.
