Default Basic Assembly

The Christmas break gave me a little time to make some progress. I had a friend come over and help me glue up the 5 basic pannels.




There are too many holes in the bottom of the tank to properly leak test so I will have to wait until I get it on the stand and plumb the true unions.




I was able to get some cut offs at Sabic Polymers for $3 a sheet and debated on using a 1/4 blue sheet or a 3/8 smoked black. I opted for the smoked black. The overflow has 24" of linear overflow minus about 4". With a 1.5" drain I think this should be enough for a Panworld 100XX. The second hole if for the emergency overflow for the Herbie it is for a 1".



Next comes the euro bracing.
