You probably just have that much in it. Shit dude you put silica above a 5 micron filter… that’s silica

I apologize for being snarky there. It may not be the standard like I said, but it’s definitely in the crc process to keep all the other powders back
I know this is just for conversations sake, I’ve just seen so many people skip that step and I can’t rap my brain around why? Shit some people are just tossing celite into their sintered filters without even using paper…

If I put t-5 or t-41 on the bottom would that help? Instead of it on the top
Lol I am the ass hole here today! If you don’t stage filtration paper and use a sintered disc correctly you should absolutely use celite

You want the smallest partivle size on top. Tapering down to the largest particle size. So finer powder on top

How do you run yours? Is there a way I could stage it with filter paper without using the celite and stop the silica from coming through? Like silica then coffee filter then t-5 then coffee filter then sintered disc?
That’s why yours works without celite. Your filtration is low enough in micron that it works perfectly

Buy filter paper off amazon And more filter stacks. It’s a trade off, celite, or staged filter paper like @sonicgardens
