Hi guys,
I wanted to chime in on this topic.When I first started using my press I wasn't using enough DE.The pressure would build up more if I don't use the right amount.Pound the earth right to it, more is better in this case.When you take the plates apart the (cakes)should be full.

Do you have all of the plates facing the right direction? I haven't done this so I don't know the result of a backwards plate. The syrup being too hot is definitely not the problem. I bring it to a boil or very close to it before I run it through the press so that it goes through easier. My press will build enough pressure to blow syrup out between the paper and plate and hit the ceiling. Maybe I need to make a field trip.
