lol ty lip you seemd to answer all the questions with pretty much the same answers as i would have gven lol. i often find i can get allllllot more kief from my bud if i put it in my crystal catcher freeze it for 10 mins grnd it up then freeze it for 10 mins shake for about 10 mins and keep freezing and shaking, this is ideal if you are trying to get alllll of the kief from it and not really to bothered about the bud lip with this method altho tedious i think you could possible get up to 4-5g of kief from a dank ounce no lie, i managed to get .5g from a 8th om some ok bud but not the dankest.
