This thread will be about the subject of forming hash into different shapes as efficiently as possible. For those not aware with standard hash in general when it's been compressed into a brick it's very hard to work with and will risk crumbling if one attempts to cut it with too much force without any preparation. Any type of heat makes it significantly easier to work with.There are a few attributes one should keep in mind for any type of forming:* Crumbles - how much crumbling will occur when forming?* Heat - is any heat needed and if so, how much?* Integrity - is there any risk the product itself might get altered in some way?* Products - are any type of products needed and if so, which ones?Our current method of heating up a standard knife and cutting bits off works, but it's fairly evident it's also extremely inefficient as it's fairly inaccurate and creates too much crumbling. We want to be able to shave very long and thin layers off the brick without it breaking up and this is simply impossible with a knife.The most high tech method I've found through searching seems to be using a styrofoam cutter but I've been a little hesitant getting one as I've seen no one actually knowing what they're talking about in this regard, I'm mostly worried about evaporation risk on the product if there's too much heat. I've been doing a fair amount of research on this subject on various forums and I've seen the same things over over, namely either bad/mediocre advice or pure speculation/guessing. Hopefully someone here has better advice than putting it in a microwave. :)
