Me too. But ptfe fumes are very toxic. And anyway, you would need much and even pressure from the top that the ptfe compresses bit and seals.pythonshine wrote:Wonder if you could heat/weld the plastic ptfe together?
It's polypropylene tubing as I said in my post. It was a proof of concept.Johnny Walker wrote:That's not PTFE tube it's PTFE coated tube, when you cut it the ends are exposed, who knows what the actual tube is made of.
As far as I know all PTFE is white, I assume the tube is not white because to coating is so thin.
I have used this to seal 3: sight glass with great success http://www.equalseal.com/PTFE-Valve-Ste ... s/2147.htm you can also get it from most hardware stores, sold in 18 inch lengths as PTFE valve stem packing. Just overlap the ends for a leaktight seal.

The term "hillbilly" will only bother you if you let it... If you don't consider yourself a hillbilly then your argument is moot... But if the shoe fits, wear it proudly...

Being born and raised in Pikeville, KY, I find the term "hillbilly" offensive as well, yet that is allowed to persist on these boards. Do a search for hillbilly engineering and let me know how many hits you get
Connotations of people who arent smart, well off, etc.
Do you see that slippery slope?
Sounds like you need a safe space, snowflake.
Bet you received lots of participation trophies growing up.
From what I have read, it is the members that make the rules, apart from UJ's have to rules. I suppose what I am asking is who is it that says that one thing is OK and others are not. Who makes that call?pythonshine wrote:Home Distiller.....HD......everybody......not sure what your asking?
Right, thanks.pythonshine wrote:Hmm...that is a slippery slope.. I am not knowledgeable enough to say, however I do know enough to say this is not the thread this should be discussed. Start your own thred, but be warned, you might not like the outcome.
Admin make the call, just like every forum ever. A quick search will bring up some resent threads discussing synthetics and the burden of proof, the same search will bring up the stuff discussed and how to talk about it. That is if it's not shown to be safe then the board are unlikely to proved it and it can not be recommend herefreaky_cutout wrote:From what I have read, it is the members that make the rules, apart from UJ's have to rules.

Listen champ the rules are about synthetics in CONTACT with vapour or spirit. Anyone said to me this hobby is only for the wealthySgt Stedenko wrote:Nice.Monkeyman88 wrote:Easy. Unwrap a very used everlasting gasket. I've done it twice and both bits of cardboard where in the same condition they were when first wrapped. I used a section of cereal box with colours still on and they hadn't changed at all.
Do you know the chemical composition of the ink on your cereal box?
A PTFE gasket is about a buck.
Trying to afro engineer a gasket with a questionable core is priceless.
Like others have said.
If you cant afford this hobby, stick to knitting.
they may not love what I would say back. Trouble with high horses is its a long way down if ya get knocked off
