makeshift strainer

    I searched, and even googled. Also didn't see a general help thread for this section of the forums.

    Im about 20-30 minutes away from beginning to cook my brownies. I don't have a strainer or cheesecloth. Is it at all possible to use a paper towel to strain the canna oil?

    I'm not going to allow myself to drive to walmart after smoking that last bowl..

    unles you have those super strong paper towels I wouldnt risk fucking up the process if it breaks.

    ps. good self restraint not to go drive.

    Use pantyhose that you can find for free at ANY shoestore. Literally EVERY shoe store has them for free. Just clean it well first before use. Double or triple them up for super effective straining, and wring em out good.

    fuck yeah i have a shirt.

    self restraint?

    haha when i get high, i see bad ideas a mile away. i smoked the last little bit from last nights bowl before i went to walmart. hardly buzzed, but still felt good. resisted temptation of blowing my gas money on candy and full throttles.

    Go to walamrt and grab some pantyhose man, they free and they are a lot more porous than the shirt, but not porous enough to let a lot of plant material through. If you can find a really thin old shirt, thats fine, but if not, I suggest the pantyhose man.

    used a shirt. i think i put too much veg oil overall into it. brownies are really gooey and soft.

    they taste like straight up plant though. no doubt i got high from eating a brownie and a half, so that would have been about 1g worth of mids. then i smoked a bowl and a blunt 1.5 hours after i ate the brownie and had the fucking ride of my life.

    For the record on this, I once used a coffee filter to strain my oil for some rookie boxed brownies I was cooking up years ago, very bad idea. I lost so much oil to poor filtering and the filter absorbed a lot of it and ripped when I tried to ring it out. Total mess. Do yourself a favor and pick up $10 in cheese cloth, can never have too much of it laying around if you are going to be baking or cooking up tinctures.

    tea strainer all the way. no absorption and you can get them fine enough so very little if any solids at all get through
