We believe, thanks to countless conversations with customers and quite a bit of anecdotal evidence, that the optimal range for pressing rosin is somewhere between 300 and 1000 pounds per square inch (psi) of pressure, at the bag.

In fact, the Rusk flat irons are acknowledged for providing the ultra smooth and shiny tresses that make them the recommended choice of the professional hair stylists. The Rusk flat irons make the optimum use of Sol-gel technology that helps to keep hair soft, supple and incredibly beautiful.

Pressing rosin with a hair straightener can provide enough rosin for personal use. It’s also good for experimentation, allowing you to quickly check different samples of material to see how it squishes.

Brief Temperature Guide

If you were using a 6-ton press, this has max 12000 lbs of force available. 12000 lbs divided by 9 sq/in = 1333 lb sq/in of pressure as the maximum payload. 10 to 12-ton presses are available in floor standing or bench-top models, this is a nice common press for most home rosin extractions.

For smaller amounts, you don’t need more than 5 tons and 2 tons is usually sufficient for personal use pressing. I realize there are many sites out there that will tell you to get the most pressing power you possibly can. Rosin extraction is still new, so there isn’t much agreement yet on the best way to do it.

Yes, you can. Sort of. But it’s not pretty and I would not recommend it. You will get much better results if you first cure and dry the bud or if you turn it into fresh frozen bubble hash and then press that.

The extra long power cord is difficult for some users to manage. Equip yourself with the Rusk Engineering Straight iron which creates silky, shiny and frizz-free hair. This flat iron comprises tourmaline and ceramic plates, which work well to provide precise and instant heat each time.
