HI YEA im very pleased at this result as that funnel tube is over 14 inches long an i dint think that small 25 mm fan would push the steam out ok

Coming along well Chris

will you be detailing the inside of the hangers ?

frogman3 · « **Reply #763 on:** February 04, 2021, 06:26:29 pm »

HI Dave thanks but i will put in a little detail in the hanger but i dont think its worth putting to much in as most of it wont be seen so in my opinion an i know you put in a lot of detail in your hanger on your burke an a very nice job you made of it to

but not for me

frogman3 · « **Reply #765 on:** February 13, 2021, 09:24:46 am »

AN then before i started building said unit i fitted down selotape to the surface so as its shiny the P/E wont stick to the board an i also taped down the etch so it cant move an i fitted on the panel edges some 1mm sqaure plastic strips to glue to

HI DAVE yes they certainly do if he had fitted the fininshed pics clearly it would have been a great help but now for me its to late as ive built it to what i see on them insturctions if ive got it wrong well that a lesson learnt but at least it strong an wont brake easy so im pleased
