Rub Out the Flakes?

The "strands" are a ribbon cut and are typically ready to smoke if they are the proper moisture.

The "thin sheets" are flakes. "Rubbing out" refers to the process of breaking up the "sheets" you want to smoke by rubbing them vigorously between your fingers or palms of your hand until they have a consistency similar to the ribbon. Some people smoke whole flakes without rubbing them out. Others like them partially rubbed out. I rub flakes out fully.

You will get a feel for what you prefer over time.
