hi kris10.ann, thank you for writing. glycerine is thick and i do think you’re right, the cheesecloth should work better, and warm the whole thing up before pressing–cold glycerin is extra thick. i generally use the pressing bags for dry herb tinctures and opt for the cheesecloth with oils and fresh herb glycerites. I suppose you pulled everything apart and kneaded the marc, right? I do that anyway with every pressing to help prohibit the whole thing from getting stuck and to optimize yields. Another thing to consider is to use the pressing block and just press less with each pressing–do a quart instead of a half gallon–that will increase surface area to mass ratio which helps. richo
