Quality, quantity, viscosity, everything is wrong. Iāve assisted is a lab before and have a good understanding of hows and whys. Just cantt seem to figure it out.
Youāve got more than enough people willing to help, I wouldnāt call it quits yet. Let us help you run that 80lbs of glue and get some food in your fridge. Iām not in Maine, but Iām willing to answer any questions you have free of charge via DM.

What gas are you using? How much gas are you using per lb? Are you soaking and for how long? How cold is the material when you run it? I see you have a filter stack, what powders are you running.
Can you run me down your process. Please and thanks!

70/30 butane propane blend from CannaGas. About 6lbs of gas per lb of material. CRY from medie bros, tried 300 and 400grams per lb of biomass. Injection coil in dry ice/iso slurry. Solvent tank in cooler packed with dry ice. Both material columns packed with dry ice. Inject Material columns psi to 45ish, making sure thereās no head pressure of nitrogen. Recovery temp at 78f.

I only have the weekends to do this. I work all week painting. The area I work in is about 2 1/2 hours from my home. I sleep in my truck all week just to make a pay check. Iām seriously trying here. Itās takes a lot for me to call it quits.

You are right on the precipice of success. Seems like the pieces are coming together for you.

Donāt forget about edibles! First couple runs donāt turn out the way you hoped, mix it into some coconut oil or whatnot and bake cookies by the gross. Or just sell it as crude to someone making edibles or distillate. Turn a failed run for top shelf dabbables into a successful run for edibles.
Is the GG4 nice enough to flip a unit or two, or is it extraction only? Maybe fill a box of pre rolls to move for a little bit of $ while you keep trying till you nail it. Donāt give up just yet!

So if you have done this successfully previously, where do you think it went wrong for you?
Too long of a soak, not enough solvent came through, clogs?
Maybe some of that information will help us help you. No sarcasm here, maybe we can help.
@PharmExOregon already asked for more information, Iām a dummy

You could probably run more solvent than that considering you are using crc, I think 10 to 1 seems to be more what Iāve seenā¦
Which ups the yields as it will get stuck in the powders to some degree,
No experience with the powders you refer, but could you not skip the crc and just make some crumble?
What consistency are you trying to achieve?
Some photos of what you made, might help.
Without information nobody can give much advice, but there are a bunch of us who can get you on the right track once we understand what you are doing and how.

My recovery tank is only 24lb max. I wish I could run a hight solvent to material ratio because I would in a heartbeat.

Pack less into the material column= more solvent to run, or recover some solvent then re run it but just the crc not the material.
I had an issue with crc where I got a terrible yield using 50/50, I took a room temp tank of nbutane and pushed some through and got the yields I desired.
Cold crc and propane mixes donāt work as well as n-butane from what Iāve read,
