    Default screen hole sizes for general use making hash, shake, etc

    i have some stems i want to shake some kief from using the simple 'shake in a box' type method, so i am shopping for some stainless steel mesh but was wondering what hole sizes everybody uses?

    i am seeing various answers but it seems to me like 100 micron and 150 micron are popular sizes, but these are quite different sizes!
    i was also thinking about grabbing some other sizes while i am there so i have them for later to use for things like bubble hash etc and was wondering if you could suggest some other sizes to grab that would be useful later for other things.

    there is a sticky thread about making bubble hash here that uses 25, 73, 160 and 220 micron screens. would you say they were good sizes to have lying around for general use?


    thank you very much for the help

    You could buy bubble bags which usually have 5 sizes.

    thank you all for the replies
    i just had a look at bubble bag kits and they actually seem to be cheaper than i remember seeing them before. still out of budget right now but would definitely be easier than shaping my own from steel mesh. i love DIY teks anyway so i might go with some sizes that i can use for both shake and bubble then upgrade to bags when i can afford to.
    the sizes suggested seem to be pretty close to others i have seen around, enough that i am starting to see the pattern and the concept behind peoples choices. it seems i could probably get away with just 3-4 sizes for now to do some shake, which i can use to do some crude bubble too to keep me happy until i can get bags.

    thank you all for the help

    i did find that site while searching but it wouldn't load for me. just tried again and it still doesn't, could be that they don't like my browser. i assumed they would be USA based anyway so continued to look elsewhere.
    when it comes time to buy i will be sure to check them out, thanks for the suggestion.
