bassn1 Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 I expanded on an idea that Nova had to keep your can of plastic warm when dippin' swim tubes. I took a 4x3 heating duct reducer and cut the top off of the 3" end 1/2 " below the rim of the can. Set this on your hot plate with the 4" side down. Take another piece of sheet metal and Cut a hole the same size as the can opening and slide that over the can and onto the reducer for a cover. This keeps the heat around the can for more even heating and you don't have to worry about moisture dripping into your plastic. Worked for me. Had to turn the heat down on the hot plate because it got too hot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coosa Redeye Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 I missed the post on this. Can anyone provide a photo or tell me when the original post came out? This is an excellent idea. Coosa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nova Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 The idea I came up with was for the swim tubes dipping pot. Whatever diameter can you use to hold the plastic you take another can and place it over the can with the plastic after cuting out a hole in the bottom 1/2" smaller in diameter than the can with the plastic. The idea being to hold the heat around the can so that the top of the plastic column is held close to the same temp as the bottom. www.novalures.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
