// Definition
The phenomenon whereby freshly pressed rosin develops a static electrical charge that attracts airborne contaminants such as hair, dust, and debris, necessitating clean-room protocols and rapid packaging after pressing.
// From the Episode
Bubbleman demonstrated this by moving a finger near pressed rosin and showing it physically attracted toward his finger like a magnet. This property means leaving rosin uncovered on a lab table pulls contamination from the environment. He recommends GPP (good production practice) including wearing protective clothing, especially covering beards and body hair, and using light boxes to inspect pressed rosin patties for embedded contaminants.
