Paul,

The sieve itself of the filter is that made of SS or a polyamide or 
something else ?  I have tried some filters in the past made by 
Schleicher and Schuell but that didn't work so I gathered some old 
dampers and filtered with them. Looking for a better method though.

This type 1.2 micron may be a better choice:
