SIGHT GLASS / Botanicals

Post by stogie »

New hobbyist with a question: (My rig is on-order, so I cannot yet post a pic.) I will have a 2"x4" sight glass mounted between a copper column and a SS delph. The plan is to have botanicals in the sight glass. I am seeking suggestions as to what to place between the column and the glass to restrain the botanicals. At various 'parts' sites I've seen 'mesh screen tri-clamp gaskets' but the density would seem to inhibit / slow the passage of vapors. Any suggestions?? Thanx in advance ...............
