Jeez mark... your insane, thats awesome... now come over and build me an exact replica of everything!!!! LOL.

[Delphinus]

Man you think of everything. That's awesome.

Ok .. I have to pester you for some details .. What's the motor? What material is the wiper thingymabob?

[SuperFudge]

Tony,

The motor is a 4 rpm that i swiped out of a small rotating nano tank that i had sitting here for a year.
it is almost identicle to a BBQ rotissery set up.

I used a bearing set that i routed and inset into the center of the lid.

The squeeges (sp?) are a windsheild wiper replacement blade cut down and held with an acrylic fork that hugs the inside and out of the neck of the skimmer.

Marc.

[SuperFudge]

Thanks guys,


Jason, problem is, id have a total market of size of about 1, and thats providing that he/she is deranged as i am. :P

Superfudge skimmers...lol, "removing superfudge since ... "

Dale, your really scaring the crap out of me man.
It wasnt so bad , but the speedo`s and goggles were totally uncalled for.
Dont worry about the nacho`s...the skimmer pulled em out before you were even finished spilling them. :P

Ruth & Fish Thanks, even without the added bonuses of a fun DIY project and a greatly improved skimmer, it makes all the projects worth the time and effort when i hear comments like that, Thank-you.

Fish, i do post on RC, but im a bit of a lurker there...i think ive been a member for almost 8 years there, and made about 120posts....lol.
Marc.

I think i could be that 1 deranged person. I am interested in the exact products that you used to coat the fiberglass (gel coats/epoxys~as you stated~vaguely), and if you used epoxy resin or polyester resin to do the fiberglass work. I am making a system similar to yours, but different dims, and the more specific you can be in this area, the more confident i will be about doing the same to my own system, and it will be of greater assistance. I have sent you a pm as well. I know it takes a lot of time and patience to document / post, and anwser everyones questions. For that i am truely greatful.
