I used to have to work with my father building furniture for free when I was a kid, so that $10 an hour would have sounded like a real sweet deal to me when i was 14.

He helps me all the time doing extractor grunt work too. Grabs supplies, takes apart clamps. Cleans up.
I try to give him all the shit I didnāt have as a kid but also teach him the money takes work. So if he wants this crazy expensive shit like all his homies. Well then heās gonna have to give a little blood, sweat and tear to the cause too.

I donāt use celite. I use silica on the bottom to capture any powders and under the silica is a 1um filter.
Dewax column with a filter plate underneath with 3um filter
To a 4x4 column that hold all the media
Top down
Silica
Magnesol
T41
Silica
With a filter plate under with a 1um filter
I can achieve water clear on a fresh filter every time. Cost per a run is about $30 in powders. Only a 1-2% loss in yield.

I think there would be beter flow through the powders if you dewaxed out celite first
It only brittle when its water clear for me.
This weeks run turned out finger print soft. I havent let it set at room temp yet. Im not sure if water clear or pull snap would be beter.
My batch last week that was water clear was extremely terpy and crystalize in my oven. Now its pink/ grapefruit color

Has anyone tried a combination of b80 and magnesol in their stack?
I have a feeling magnesol and b80 before the Cilicia 60 and t-5 will really clear up the color and guarantee that water clear color every time. Ordering both this week.

T5 and b80 are extremely similar i believe
I have used all but b80.
Magnesol seems to grab color if it is first in line

Thanks for the response. Do you have volume or weight measurements you use for each per lb or whatever size your material column is you could share?
The email is at the top in the headline. Email Sales@indofabsolutions.com
Iāve noticed people mention both of these as the workhorse and thought the same thing. it would be nice if it can be done without AC. I look forward to seeing your results!

Do you know what weights your doing of each powder?

I have a 5 # run loaded. Top to bottom is 100 gās of Mag, 200 gās of silica, 250 gās of T5, 100 gās of silica, 1/2" of DE, 11um filter a space then a 3um filter. I would add another 4x4 spool as i think more powder would be better but i am out of head space with my rig @ 7ā tall right now.
I think your clarity is going to be dictated by how fast you pass your solvent thru the filter media. If i go wide open and let it flow fast it starts clear but starts to get golden half way thru the run. If i just crack the bottom valve and let it flow thru slow i get the clear clear.
