Back in Feb., Rex Roseman sent us some neat photos and a concept re. CA Glue Fumes. Well....I finally made it to the big box hardware place and got all the goodies...well, almost.<G> Fun project, to be sure. My big box store didn't have exactly the same, but close enough. Some of the stuff that was not available was the 4" tubing/pipe/whatever and couplers for said pipe. I found them at Rockler's, which is a woodworker's toy..err tool store. I got two different versions of the flexible tubing. One neat thang and a down side at the same time, is...the darn stuff is like a giant Slinky and it is compact. ( the 4 foot, collapsed, piece extends to 28 feet! The 2 footer extends to 14 feet!<G>) The hardest part was figuring out how to get the dang tubing on the end of the unit! It is really a TIGHT fit. Actually, once I figured out that ya have to sneak up on it, it was relatively simple. Cranked that puppy up and it works just fne. I hope to use it to vent away the noxious fumes that seem to permeate my shop from time to time. Since my shop is part of my house/building, it gets into the living spaces as well. Not a good thang sometimes.<G> So, lift the garage door a bit and stuff the Xauster out/under and plug it in. ....bye bye to the stinky stuff. Thanks Rex Regards, Joe Joe Garrett, R.P.T.
