FX5 and vinyl hosing

[L A R R Y]

I would use another screw clamp on the vinyl hose over the pvc. That should take care of you.


BTW....did Stevie Wonder do your silicon work?

Hose clamp on the vinyl hose over the PVC pipe. Just don't go overtightening it, thinking tighter is better...a very slight compression into the surface of the hose and you'll be good to go...

JRay152, I am contemplating modding my FX5 to your design but I'm nervous and afraid that I'll ruin it

Not at all. Don't be worried. Use silicone for a temp adhesive untill you are satisfied with the results. After all the modding I did. I can still easily put the trays back in and it will work the way it used to.

You say use silicone as a temp adhesive but when I am satisfied with the results what do I use then?

I have been looking at WeldOn 10. Any plastic adhesive that is non toxic.

I had to put all my projects on hold last year. I hope to start them up again this year.

At this point the silicone I used has failed which was expected. Silicone was not for a long term use but it did the trick and I was satisfied with the design.
