[QUOTE="RSteve, post: 567164, member: 164"] [SIZE=5]Periodically loosen the bottom noodle die or you may not be able to remove it to remove the tobacco plug. I put 4 oz. of HH Syrian in the press and cranked it tightly for several days. I over did it. Fortunately, I used the one die made of grey plastic. If you purchased a noodle press, you'll know which one I mean. I could not get the plastic bottom off. I used a strap wrench and was still unsuccessful. Ultimately, I decided to put the press, without the top portion and crank into the freezer. Once the plastic bottom was frozen, one tap with a hammer and it cracked and I was able to remove it and remove the plug of tobacco.
