i was thinking of a gin basket and was wandering if i could use a piece the same size as my deflag but just with a perferated plate in it that i set the herbs on. if it was the same size as the deflag, i could just switch the two out without, messing with the produce condensor heigth. my main question is,,, do yall think that the gin basket (that i described) would work? or might i be missing something?

Dunno Spooky? That sounds like code for " ima engine turn mine in such a way that makes yours look like a 13 year old did it".
Can't beleive Aaron talks to you like that :ebiggrin:

really nice work Jase.
And I think Condensificator owes you an apology :crazy: :esmile:

Question for Od,,, I put my laquer on my condensors today, and after I did this, I relised that one of my welds on the water inlet was weak, and broke loose. I need to fix the weld, but it has already been laquered. Do you have a y suggestions on how to reprep the finish and fix the weld?//
thanks

How far back from the weld do you usually sand?///
Does it discolor the remaining lawquer? This is on a engine turned piece, so I need to keep the sanding to a minimal because it will mess up the finish :thumbdown:
Thanks
