so i finally got the stuff to put together my sump, and with my gigantic, swollen ankle i hobbled around and glued it together this weekend...
Putting the first piece on, I used Melev's guides for most of this...not quite done but it's coming along, still have to cut the top flange and braces for it
i had enough room and coincidently a 2x4 is actually 1.5" thick so i used that as a spacer for my bubble trap baffles...
this part was the most annoying piece i did, mental note to self, use the jig you made when cutting these...i got tired of moving it and you can see where my hand wasn't as steady as i thought it'd be
coming together nicely...
double sided tape holds these little $4 speed squares down nicely, i used the removable scotch tape kind...not sure what would happen if you used the permanent kind...either way, the removable kind held pretty good...
when you put the last side on, make sure you have enough weight, when you think you have enough, find more, and put that on there too...PHONE BOOKS ARE NOT HEAVY ENOUGH BY THEMSELVES!
finished-ish project...still needs a flange around the top, and water testing either tonight or tomorrow...
all in all the seams look like they're gonna hold, you can actually see where it's bonded pretty well with the clear acrylic...i'll take a pic of a good seam and a bad seam and post them...
