Anyone made a "lid" for their Cimex sol tank?

July 10 2007 at 12:17 AM		 Derek  
i am looking to make a lid for my solution tank...anyone made one?

looking for suggestions.

one reason among others is to keep all fumes/smells in the tank from coming out...but that doesn't really matter.

i need it to:

1) be lightweight.
2) not leak condensation out when i have HOT water in it.

i'm guessing noone out there has done this though.?.

thanx --- Derek.

I covered mine for now with cardboard. Had problems with dirt and bugs getting in the tank from my garage. Looking for a more permanent cover too. I have a porty with a aluminum cover mounted with a piano hinge. Thinking that might work on the Cimex. Just a flat pc. of aluminum. Can get a piano hinge from H.D.OR lowes.

There's a guy on the Aussie board that made one up for his.

Colin Nation... don't know his email but swing over to www.australianforums.biz and ask Col.

I would think if you made a lid air tight and adding hot water it would exspell more solution due to the pressure?

Just thinking out loud

I usually just put a clean folded towel over the top of the tank, usually to keep the solution hot or to keep bugs and other stuff from getting in when it's not being used.
