My First Build

[danser75]

koya, I did exactly that when tapping I only ran it to about 1/4 the way actually. just enough to give me a good tight fit but be sure it was lined up to the hole properly. As for trimming them I have an occilating saw that I use when needed but the fittings are just a tad under 1/2 inch long and boards are a tad over. But I did have a couple that were longer so I used the occilating saw by threading a piece of scrap cutting board and then cutting the fitting with it in the board.

Thanx for the info though.

iger I forgot till just now I dont think madscientist uses anything but just water. So that would require research before use.

Tis a good point and I've been away a few days sorry!! I'm not sure but you could put some on a fitting then in a cup full of your electrolyte for a test ! Please let me know how that turns out, but I've never had a problem with this sealer and hot oil and transmission fluid under pressure tend to leak if they can. However they don't leak through this compound.

I know he uses only water, but maybe he knows anyway. I heard from somebody, that madscientist is very knowledgeable and experienced.
