Yes, I have done 45-60 seconds when I first feel resistance in the plates.
After the initial light pressure and pre-heat then I press down for about 90 seconds at what I think would be 70-80% of what I want my max to be. Still learning the feel since I don't have a gauge.
That is what I have been trying to do. Maybe I'm doing too much pressure from the onset? Not sure.
First run after 20 hrs on the hot plate at 170°. You can see that it has clarified since last night. It is a process or curing rosin. Said to intensify flavor and a smoother smoke. After review, I probably should have gone much cooler. I'm turning it off and see how it looks and tastes later.
2nd run looks good too! I'll be trying this in vape carts.
Next time, I'm going to go for a 100°-110° hot cure and see how that looks and tastes.
