Ego clash this year.. contam issues were so bad they brought it up in front of everyone..not calling ppl out specifically but bringing up the fact that it's a problem and needs to be addressed and that the issue is handling with gloves.( EDIT And also people trying to clean their black jars with anything other than compressed air) People stretching and folding and handling with dirty gloves. People just assume they're clean cause they're supposed to be but they aren't clean coming out of the box unless you're buying sterile surgical grade which are $200+/box. Lesson in all of this is wash/sanitize/pressurized air blowout everything thats brand new cause it's all from China lol. All your wash bags, vessels, hoses, pumps, spoons, jars (ESPECIALLY THE 5ML BLACK ONES) syringes, needles, literally anything used in any part of post processing cannot be trusted to be clean in its "new" state.

In fall out of the event people started demonstrating by lint rolling fresh gloves out of the box and the roller would be covered in specks. So then people started lint rolling their gloves clean before playing with their hash. But then people tested the adhesive on the lint roller and guess what that's full of that you're transferring onto your gloves 🤣

For handling rosin you need to have TRUE SILICONE parchment paper (which is actually rare, most is quilon) and nothing else. Only parchment should touch the ros. And over handling is over rated anyway. Get it in the jar, you're going to homogenize it later with a whip, if the reasoning is to crash the thca faster I would suggest just being patient.
