It would work but there's better out there. The electosolve contact cleaner I listed (http://www.mgchemicals.com/products/409b.html)is probably the best commercially available product. But, if i were you, just look up a chemical supply store and see if they carry hexane.
At the very least the stuff that Home Depot and the like carry work very well (QD Contact Cleaner).

So I'm doing a run this time only 30 mins to see the difference. Finally have enough trim to play with so we'll see how it turns out. Should be ready in 25 mins or so and I'll update with some pics.

After a 30 min soak this is what I'm left with.

Final product. Still roughly the same color, taste is much better with the smaller time to pull. I think the 8 hour soak gave me a slightly larger yield though. The high is nice and soaring, definitely a nice change from the cloudy feeling in the head the buds give me. This hash is a much better day smoke while the buds are a much better night time smoke. I think I'll let the next run sit for an hour and compare. I really haven't gotten to the truly good part of my trim yet, this batch contained some fans which had a decent amount of sugar, but not as much as the trimmings which are sitting just below the larger pieces.
It's nice to have some oil again, I've missed hash terribly.

No problem.
I've since updated the main instructions to get rid of the 8 hour soak. I hopefully also explained the amount of hexane needed per amount of trim a little bit better. The whole process should take between 1 and 2 hours depending on how fast the hexane evaporates.

Have you ever tried whipping that into budder?
if u want to go with a longer soak and still want the clear product, run it thru a carbon filter a couple times to remove the organic nasties. take that old butane blast can (that ull never use anymore because hexane rocks) and fill it up with some activated carbon from the pet store and drip it evenly thru into your evaporator.

Nah, the oil is good enough for me honestly. Making the budder would just be a PITA honestly (at least for me).

hey coda
i used the QD contact cleaner last night to make some hash,
i just realized the stuff in your pic is "quick dry formula"
mine isnt/ it did the job but i was wondering if this stuff is safe to smoke since it wasnt the quick dry?

Couldn't tell you honestly, what was the "ingredient" list on the can?

coda, since this was bumped recently, I'll throw another question to you: does your contact cleaner contain petroleum distillate? I bought the same brand of no residue QD Cleaner as you, though the logo is different, and it has that in addition to everything else mentioned in your OP. Though the petroleum obviously evaporates off (no residue, right?), it seems worrisome.

No, it shouldn't contain any petroleum distillates. That's the MSDS for the cans that I buy, does it differ from what you have? I'd put the cleaner you have on hold until you get it sorted just in case.
If you're truly worried about it you can order the other cleaner, or, visit a local chemical supply store and pick up the pure chemical.

If you guys are worried about how the end product is dried here's a couple random things:
Instead of using a pyrex dish in a hot water bath, consider using a hot canola oil bath instead. The oil can be brought up to a higher temperature than water and you will be free from steam and water droplets. Hot oil baths can be used to decarboxylate hash oils with the canola oil at about 240°-250°F. You don't need temps that high for iso or hexane though.
Because you want a somewhat lengthy "drying/purging" period with hexane, consider speeding up the process by dissolving what's in your dish with ethanol or isopropyl alcohol than evaporating that.
Here's a fantastic post by Gray Wolf over on ICMag about this:
Quote:
As a Hex molecule, it is completely non polar, and does a very clean extraction, but is a heavy enough molecule to be more difficult to purge than butane or alcohol.
I put my plant material and hexane in a jar and periodically shake for about 12 hours at ambient. I then decant through a strainer and filter before evaporating off the hexane.
My attempts to purge deep pools of oil with hexane residual left in it were not totally successful, so I have found best to first evaporate off the hexane in a shallow dish with a fan or vacuum, redissolve in ethanol, and cook that off to purge the rest of the hexane.
The extract has a drier appearance than BHO and a hashy flavor. Residual hexane tastes like gasoline.
Ghetto hexane can be procured by using electronic cleaning products like MG Contact Cleaner, which is hexane with enough fluorocarbon propellant to make it an aerosol.
I also use hexane to steal the goodies away from an alcohol extraction, to get rid of undesirable water solubles picked up by the alcohol.
If you mix the alcohol extraction with equal parts hexane and saturated salt water, the hexane will absorb the cannabis oil and rise to the top, leaving the alcohol and water mixture on the bottom in a separatory funnel.
Easy to then bleed off the water and alcohol, replete with all the garbage, before evaporating off the hexane, and ending up with a pristine extraction.
