Let that stiffen and dry out more for a day (you don't have to, but less messy) and finally go smoke the crap out of it.
A little dangerous, but way safer than butane extraction, you might look that up too.
yeah, it works but the final product is a very poor substitute for what you'd get if only spending a little more time and effort making 'the real deal'. bubblebags are the best method i've found for turning the leftovers into something to be proud of instead of a black-ish green goo that's not a whole lot better than mulching the stuff...
