As an aside, I think all of these powders have potential harm issues. None of this stuff has been vetted for combustion and inhalation.
Thatās just my two cents anyway.

true reason I always try to find a grade powder technical as the bare minimum since there is supposed to be some reffrance about the product
and then there is always the simple but very effective ASK
ask the producer what his product is about if the producer is standing behind his product he will tell you all about it
I have had many pleasant suprises asking around products their quality.
and I learned a lot from yust having conversations with those that produce something we use in our industry

Clays look kind of like balaclava, with the amount of space between layers being one activation variable.

Back in the day we used to make it all the time. The amount of butter that goes into then made them excellent for an easy edible. When I say weā¦I mean someone else. I just supplied the trim an enjoyed the tasty pastry.

Damn @samurai I was really hoping it was going to be easy, are you baking moisture out of clays too? I feel ya figuring out crc shatter when I have fresh material did the same to me.

For those of you that either donāt have a sintered filter, donāt want to buy one, or are having flow issues with your sintered filter, hereās a trick I just tried and its a night and day difference as far as flow is concerned:
Essentially, your making your own cartridge filter for a fraction of the cost of a premade disposable cartridge, and waaaaay cheaper than a sintered filter.
I got two 3ā*6ā sheets in 5 and 1 micron each for about 30 bucks total, shipping included.

Iāve been having trouble with dark extracts as well. When I used to run 25-50g silica on top of 5um disc and 50-100g of t5 on top of that per pound of material the results were incredible. Looked like nug run indoor. Now that Iāve changed the order to celite or DE on bottoms, then t5 then silica my stuff has looked like shit. Almost like Iām not filtering it. Does anyone know what gives? Is it getting around my filter beds?
Most likely
Do you Place a disk or something on top of your powder stack to keep them packed ?
Do you flood your material column or yust flush straight treu
Try Placing some T5 on top of your silca as well

Iām flooding column and soaking for 45 minutes before nitrogen pushing thru to collection. Right now Iām using filter plate ring kits from BVV. I thought the filter plate ring would fit tightly in my column but itās not tight at all. But yeah Iāve got a filter plate ring and filter on top of the silica but it certainly isnāt packed tightly more like just sitting on top of it since the ring isnāt as big as the column. I will try some t5 on top tomorrow. What will that do? Iāve heard the t5 will slow it down or something or am I misremembering?
Slowing down might be a side effect
But T5 might alter ph slightly and hence Maybe your silica works better
