What are ya’ll doing inline dewaxing using as a pre-filter before the low micron plate and what issues have you had with blinding?

How many of ya’ll are using sock filters?

what makes you think CO2 will help?!?

I use a filter stack after my dewax column from top to bottom:

8 micron filter paper doubled up
filter plate
5 micron filter paper doubled up
filter plate
1 micron tampon rolled as tight as possible
1 micron filter paper w/ filter ring
1 micron sintered disk
dump valve

Kind of overkill but I had all the extra plates and rings and it gives me peace of mind knowing no fats will make it through my stack.
