So I was in menards the other day and spotted a little Pyrex dish for $6. Instantly knew what I needed it for. Found a piece of lexan for $4. It's thin but works. They wanted $60 for a piece of 1/4" and wasn't paying that. I think I have a chunk at work I'll aquire. I already have a pump and gauges since I do HVAC for a living. Just used some rubber window seal on the lexan. image.jpgimage.jpg image.jpg

Ran it for over 4 hrs today. No issues. I'll make a new top when I come across some thicker lexan. For nothing more than a little more confidence.

I only use 99% ISO. Not a butane fan.

I do plan on making a new top when I find a thick piece of Lexan. I just didnt want to drop $60 on a 36" x 36" chunk when I only needed 8"
