We have a simple process that hasn’t failed us.
First, do you process any Cured Material or are you focused primarily on Live Resin runs?
We stick to Cured material primarily, as this our preference but this still should help. 1.) Try starting with a regular pour and purge in your oven at your regular temp/time (we keep it at 78-82 degrees around 72 hours depending on consistency). By now we would have a nice stable shatter consistency, if this is a very terpy run it might be a little sappier thus harder to work with (we use a cold oven sheet under it so it’s easier to handle). 2.) Now that your product has been purged of residuals it is ready for the next step. Take the slab and literally crumple it into a ball, start twisting it up, pull at it back and forth consistently. If this is a sappier run try a cold tray under what your material is on so you can work with it(careful not to let the heat from your hands cause the slab to stick to your gloves). If that does not work, or you know this is what you’re going to start with, you can also transfer it or do your initial pour to pryrex and do the old “whip“ technique (usually a last resort, always purge before as residuals can and will get trapped in your budder if you try this with out purging). 3.) Now continue step 2 until you see your material turn from a clear consistency into a vibrant gold one from twisting and turning at it. Repeat those steps as long as you feel necessary (the more you make, the more you know). 4.) At this point you should have a nice taffy looking like material. Flatten that out into a nice thin pancake, and turn you oven on anywhere from 90-110 (lower temps will take longer, but room temp is possible to achieve this) and w/o vac, leave it in the oven closed, uncovered, until you achieve a nice stable budder!
Tips: Depending on what your starting with, you may have to take it out of the oven every hour or so, and repeat the 2nd and 3rd step we described above until this happens. From our experience, the more stable the product you start with, the faster the overall process happens. Pro tip, the more you repeat step 2, is how we achieve a smooth consistency with no bubbles. If you decide to do step 2 only a couple times and throw it in the oven, the process will most likely still work, but it might not be as light of a color, or as nice of a consistency overall.
