Hey guys, I put 7 grams in a press like this one and squeeze it or hammer it to a puck, then put it in a bag with the ends poked in like GT mentions somewhere I can't find. You take a pen and push the two tips of the end of the bag in verted to the middle so the bag looks like it is a point on the bottom. Snug the puck onto that and cut the bag 1/2 inch more that the puck. Fold bag and insert into wax papered warm plates.
For pressure I use a little pressure.Starting to feel it in the handle, for 30 seconds every 5 seconds or so I gently feel if the handle wants to lower as the puck softens with heat. After 30 seconds I slowly pump until I can't and wait for 1.5 to 2 minutes total from start to finish. Watching all the goo oozing from the seam! Sorry all the stuff is not here. What I have is different than yours to I think. But that's how I interpreted GT's tutorial when I found it.
I couldn't figure how to get the pic in properly sorry. You can search for it if you need. There's two types I know of tube and plate.
man i pretty stone but im completely lost as too your folding ...
make a puck side into bag .. fold open end over in the rosin press so its pressed shut in the parch paper.. in the press.
easy..
heat your plates 1st ... !!!!!!!!!!!! heat 1st.. hit your temp to stabilize for awhile.. start press slowly
i go 1 min at 200 lbs just to warm up the puck...
then slowly increase over the next min to 5500lbs... leave 1 more min under pressure 3 mins total time
im done release press and start scraping ...
on your cold plate..
