[QUOTE="RSteve, post: 568838, member: 164"] [SIZE=5]Again, keep the amount of tobacco to 4 oz. or less, even though there is the temptation to fill the press with more, and don't use tobacco that feels even slightly over humidified. I had another episode with the internal liner coming out with the tobacco stuck inside it. Fortunately, I had enough paper spacer to remove from the bottom, so after pounding the liner back into the press, so I could reverse the top crank portion and bottom retainer and crank out the compressed tobacco roll. Both top and bottom of the press have the same threading, so switching bottom to top is simple, but you have to have enough empty space to screw on the cranking cap, which makes the stuffed paper toweling necessary in case of a stuck tobacco roll. If you experience the liner coming out, use a wood block and hammer to gently tap it back into the noodle press without damage. As I'm using the noodle press, I'm thinking that it's probably a good idea to cut two pieces of 2" diameter dowel or round railing stock, 1" long, for top and bottom spacers.[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
