Yeah, I didn't really intend on going for 2 fingers with my run, I added solvent until the material was completely covered. I misinterpreted that having enough solvent to cover was of more important than volume when scaling, and that sense was reinforced by the difficulty I had with pouring off the solvent between pulls, since I didn't think to take my oversized press apart to ditch the lid. It was impossible to put any pressure at all on the material, let alone squeeze it. Goes to show how little I've used that press in the past

That does make me wonder if inefficient removal of solvent might have anything to do with goo. Increased contact time pulling more undesired components.
