Sticky hash, suggestions?

[SunnySativa]

So i soaked my stuff in acetone, filtered it through a coffee filter into glass jar, put on a plate ontop of boiling water, evaped the acetone [to a degree i think is gone] now i got the sticky has oil and my questions are

1. Whats the best what to deal with this oil, its so damn sticky, like how to i make it a smoke able ball the easiest way?
2. How can i be sure that all the acetone is gone, if i smoke it and all the acetone isnt gone completely will it harm me?

This is my first successful [so far] hash oil making batch....excited to get into cooking and hash making

Here is a picture of what i boiled water under, and my end result. I didnt use to much bud as this was my first attempt, but looks successful? Any suggestions again on the above questions would help me out, i wana make sure i got all the info i need and questions answered before attempt to smoke

I think acetone extracts too much plant matter. Butane would be better but an extreme fire hazzard. Cold water extraction (bubble bags) is the way to go. BTW, I'm 10 minutes from IUP.

Cold water extraction eh? Care to explain i dont think ive come across that one? Yea im around that area, blaze sometime?

Oh, btw how long is hash shelf life, and can i leave it out in the open or do i have to put it somewhere air tight?

You can do a search on bubble bags but here's a simplified explanation: You drop your leaf in a bucket of water/ice. When it's cold you drop a blender in the bucket and the resin will break off the leaves easily and float to the bottom. This is where the bags come in, they filter the resin from the leaf and you get hash. No chemicals, no fires. Sure we can blaze sometime, no problem.

I think the best way to store the oil would be to mix the oil with some bud that has been ground fine. I would use a small coffee grinder. This would turn the oil into a paste that is easier to handle. If you keep it sealed in the fridge it would last for several months or even a few years.

lol "float to the bottom", i take it you mean sink? lol, so i dunno how id get a blender in a bucket, what if i just put it all my leaves and suck in an actual bender of ice water, blend it up [let it sit for an hour or 2]? Then could i filter it through a coffee filter and let it sit till the water evaps? I dunno how id get bags to stay at the bottom of a bucket if i put a blender into the bucket? I understand the concept but i got questions on the technique. I have my hash on a small metal lid, can i just pop that into a shelf on the fridge and it'll be cool for at least a few weeks then? Yea man lets blaze one up, you can show me how do to this method if you're up to it?
