This way, you're using mostly pressure instead of heat.

They're both pressed, just one is done differently that the other. There is several ways to press hash, one just uses heat instead of pressure, and the other one is just the opposite.
One way that I have used to press hash out here is taking a good amount of kief and putting it in the corner of a new sock or some kind of similiar material.

Then I boil a little water until it is steaming and place the ball of kief in the sock in the steam for a while. Sometimes I even dip it in the water for a second or two. The heat is just going to add moisture to the powder making it easier to press and more efficiently pressed in my opinion.

After it is exposed to heat, I smash the hell out of the ball with anything heavy I can find. I mean really heavy. Like lift up a corner of your bed or a table and sit on the corner for a few minutes.

Then I let it sit there for a couple hours. And VOILA! a medallion of blond hash. :smokin:
