If I had to mix without the Bubblenow I would mix with a wooden spoon for 10 minutes. Mixing must be vigorous, with lots of white bubbles. Then next run mix as long as you want ,by any other method for your second run if you choose to do one. I give the once mixed material to a friend that makes canna butter with it after. I place the drying screen on a dish towel before I start, as I remove hash from the bags it goes on the screen. I never press, by the time I am done pulling bags and cleaning up the hash is dry enough to chop. Never press it traps water inside. Once chopped to powder on cardboard I let it dry for 4 days. Good luck. Peace GS
