Gonna try a run tomorrow and wanted to get a couple questions out of the way first.

The pressing screen:

I dont have one. But i've read somewhere its 25m and i can use the last bags screen, True/false?

I watched a vid where dude is using his pressing screen with a towel around it and pressing down on it as hard as he can, but from other things i've seen it says don't press wet hash. Which one is it?

Color/consistency:

What i've been doing (since i had nothing to go by) was just putting the globs straight from the pulled bags onto paper plates and letting them sit out til they were dry a few days later, and turn into a darker almost black colored patty. Last time after i pulled the bags i put them on the paper plate except this time i used an old gift card to spread it out (thinkin it would get moisture out) into a thinner layer. It dried into a light powder within a day that was complete crap. I doubt either of these ways r the way to do it so any help would be appreciated.
