Equipment for Rubber Glove Static Tech

  • Nitrile glove
  • Cold Plate
  • Cleaning card (hotel room key, credit card, etc.)
  • High quality brush (e.g. shaving brush)

Cold temperatures are best for both making and cleaning dry sift. If you can work in a room that’s 60 degrees or cooler, you’ll have an easier time extracting and handling the dry sift.

How To Clean Dry Sift with Rubber Glove Static Tech

Step 1: After you’ve completed sifting your cannabis through the series of dry sifting screens, remove the upper screens to expose the 200 LPI screen and the resin that’s collected there.

Step 2. If you’re not already wearing a clean pair of gloves, put a nitrile rubber glove onto your dominant hand.

Step 3: Place your hand on a cold plate to lower the temperature of your hand by a degree or two. Make sure the glove stays completely dry. Moisture and heat are both adversaries in Rubber Glove Tech.

Step 4: Sweep your gloved hand over the dry sift in quick, smooth, circular motions. This resembles the way you would apply wax to a car. Be sure to apply a moderate amount of pressure while you’re doing this, to force remaining contamination through the sifting screen.

Step 5: Continue these circular motions until you’ve passed over the entire layer of dry sift several times. This movement creates static electricity between the screen and the glove, and also gives the trichomes an electrical charge.

You’ll start to see trichome heads collect around the outside of your palm print, and up and down the sides of your fingers. The heads stick to the edges of your hand where it comes into contact with the sifting screen, while the contamination does not.

Contaminants either get pushed through the sifting screen, or remain on top. The contaminants are less likely to be drawn to the glove than the trichome heads.

Step 6: After a layer of heads collect on your glove, it’s critical to remove them before they start to warm up with contact on your skin. When the trichomes get warm they clump together, becoming difficult to work with.

Use your brush a whisk the trichomes off of your hand and back onto a clean section of the sifting screen, away from any contaminants. You can also whisk these heads onto another clean surface for collection.

Step 7: Repeat this process over the entire layer of dry sift at least 2-3 times. Keep the room temp and your hand as cool as possible. Use a cooling plate to chill your hand before you touch the dry sift.

If your workspace and/or your hand are too warm, the friction will create enough heat to start melting the resin, creating mini balls of dry sift to form on top of the screen. This is counterproductive to cleaning.

Step 8: There will still be resin remaining on the screen after 3 or more times of sweeping over and cleaning the dry sift. This remaining sift is several degrees cleaner than it was in the beginning, but not as pure as what you’ve collected on the glove.

Especially considering the great reduction in contaminants that pressed through the screen, this is usable dry sift. You can run that resin through the sifting screens again, then give it another round of cleaning.

Step 9: Use a card to collect the clean dry sift and store it in a glass container.
