Hahaha! I bet I could find a million little “flicks” of rosin around my squish room.
It's your emergency stash!

Squished this Glue last night. This stuff is a year old and is still just a delight to work with. Enjoy!
I'm half way through a squishing session myself. The pucks were formed yesterday for 1/2 lb of dried flower. It's going a lot faster now that I've got the procedures down. While I squish 1/2 oz, I'm collecting from the previous squish. I'm using a pair of tweezers to lift the spent pucks off of the parchment. It keeps the rosin off of my hands. 
For your viewing Pleasure!

I use tweezers myself. It helps...I’ve had them slide on the parchment before, as I remove from the plates, and they slide into the rosin, etc. Anyway, I know the deal. I wish I was there to help...help you consume that stuff...I'm half way through a squishing session myself. The pucks were formed yesterday for 1/2 lb of dried flower.

@grampa_tokin How do you get from parchment paper to the last photo on post 4863?
I get scraping off the parchment paper, but how do you get to the one, single glob? Heat it up?

If you show up within the next year, I should still have some. I stopped growing for now as I have over 150gm of rosin in the freezer.
Use a small silicone mat to pull it off of your collection tool. You can do this several times before you need to clear it. I had the rosin from that 1/2 lb squish session on a piece about 4" square. Just fold the mat over the tool and pull the rosin off. For the last pull, let the mat heat between your fingers and you only leave a very thin layer on your tool.
You can then fold over the mat and shape the rosin however you want.

That’s it exactly! I have a video of it somewhere in the bowls of this journal.

Trying to keep busy in quarantine lol! Glad your doing well grandpa!
Just for the halibut I browsed the play store looking for a timer to use while pressing. Yep! There's an app for that.
Is anyone interested in a magnetic stirrer / hot plate for decarbing rosin and mixing capsule contents? My wife is tired of me using kitchen equipment to do this so I'm looking at options. I've decided to start with a low cost unit, and upgrade it. The good ones cost too much. This is what I ordered:
YaeCCC Digital Hotplate Magnetic Stirrer with Heating Plate
They are currently on sale for $80 CAD / $58 USD. The problem with it is the temperature is limited to 99.9°C / 212°F. That's too low for decarbing, so I'm looking at changing out the controller with an InkBird. I should be able to do this for less than a total cost of $150 CAD / $110 USD. If it doesn't work, I can return it to Amazon.
If there's any interest, I'll post the conversion instructions.

Please post the surgical procedure. Sounds like something I could tackle with instructions. Decent price too.Is anyone interested in a magnetic stirrer / hot plate for decarbing rosin and mixing capsule contents?

OK. It will take a month or so before it's here. It's better to know in advance so I don't have to roll it back and do it again.
@Rich Farmer has one that he uses maybe you guys can get together on it.
I don't think Rich's can be modified. It has a small, beveled front.
Not sure, his is the first I’ve seen here.
