After a few days oil will appear on the top, this can be skimmed off and put aside. After about 10 days of this, stirring it and topping up the catalyst, you will have extracted all the oil. This is then put out in the sun to allow the catalyst to evaporate.
The second method, quicker, but very dangerous if not done carefully, is to "cook" the powder in the catalyst. This needs to be done in an extra large pot as the 'steam' is heavier than air and will sit in the pot, if it is allowed to spill over into the heat source you'll have an explosion on your hands. This method is often done with those tube contraptions that take away the 'steam'. The advantage of doing it this way is that it takes only a few hours from start to finish.
The third 'oil' is actually completely different, and is the best, and scarcest, of all. This involves pollenating the plants using a suede 'apron'. This 'apron' is full length and covers the arms too. The man holds his arms outstretched and walks through fields of grass at a time when the male flowers are out. Remember this is not sinsemilla, the plants in plantations are seeded. At the end of the day the 'apron' is scaped with a knife and the result is 'oil'.
Using the first two methods, the hash to oil ratio is between five and seven to one. This is not cost effective in itself, as you don't get five to seven times the money for it in Europe, the reason it's made is because a kilo of hash oil takes up slightly less room than hash, and can be made into any shape for smuggling, and still fetches around three to four times that of hash, a bit more if cut with metholated spirits.
