// Definition
The gold standard of hash quality. A full melt product contains such a high concentration of pure trichome heads that it melts completely and cleanly when heat is applied, leaving no residue. Contamination from plant material prevents proper melting and is the most common quality issue in dry sift.
// From the Episode
Bubbleman explained that full melt is not a technique — it's a quality grade. Whether you're doing bubble hash (water extraction) or dry sift, the goal is the same: isolate pure trichome heads with zero plant contamination. Water extraction achieves this more naturally because water separates trichomes from plant material by density. Dry sift requires more passes through progressively finer screens. The test is simple — apply heat. If it melts completely into a clean oil with no residue, no char, no ash, it's full melt. If anything remains, there's still plant material mixed in.
