Dan,

Are those clamps that you made out of scrap material?  Everyone please forgive me if these types of clamps are standard practice.  I have never seen a setup like this.  Very interesting.

Joe,

I don’t have one of those kits and I am doubting that my customer is going to want to pony up the dough for me to buy it.  I will have to take care of this repair in house, as the company I subcontracted the tops out to 1-1/2 years ago has since gone out of business. 

Thanks for the ideas and I will let you know how it turns out.

Andy,

I have a call into my customer now to see if she has the chip.  Thanks for the ideas, I will let you know how it turns out.

not yet…I have been chasing my tail lately.

What did you fill in the coffee bean counter with???  Clear epoxy resin?

[John Di Gregorio]

but that will still leave the tape touching the zodiaq…which is a no-no for Du Pont.  Is it just me or are they setting unachievable standards that they can hide behind when a failure shows up.

[John Di Gregorio]

yes…I have this guide.  look at the diagram on pages 4 and 5.  How do you get 2 layers of nomex around a round cut out and bent 90 degrees to provide the only support for the equipment while also making sure it does not protrude out past the flange edge considering the you would only be able to have about 1/4″ to 3/8″ wrapped at the top.  Also, won’t the nomex eventually crush down and make the .22 space shrink enough to void warranty?

[John Di Gregorio]

The soup well stays in and never gets removed.  Du Pont has stated that the heat tape cannot come into contact with zodiaq surface as it will transfer the heat.

Ahhhh, how could anyone forget the lovely and talented Cleopatra Schwartz?

We do tend to stray on this forum….go figure.
