[QUOTE="RSteve, post: 568173, member: 164"] [SIZE=5]Am learning how to use the noodle press, finally. Do not try to use more than 4 oz. of moderately humidified tobacco. Once the bottom cap is screwed onto the press, I stuffed three wadded up paper towels into the press, screwed on the top cap with the crank and tightened down the towels until they became a spacer, then progressively put tobacco into the press, tightening it down, then loosening and adding more tobacco, repeating until four oz. have been placed and tightened into the press. Unscrew and remove the top cap with the crank. There should be about 1.5+ inches of empty space. Stuff a couple of crumpled paper towels in the space. Put the top back on and turn crank until tight. You want enough space in the tube, bottom and top, when the paper towels are removed to reverse the top and bottom caps, if necessary, to extricate the compressed tobacco roll from the press. I learned this the hard way.[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
