    You can get by with the Walmart cutting boards (cheap) if you use a 1/4" steel plate perimeter reinforcement about an inch wide. It works well and looks rather cool...

    This is a good source: http://www.thecuttingboardfactory.co...gory_Code=3WSA

    As is this: http://www.tapplastics.com/

    Will you be sandblasting your plates? I would and will be once I upgrade mine to dual stack very soon.

    i will check out the cutting boards thats not a bad idea...sounds cheap

    and i will be sanding them 3 or 4 ways and im going to upgrade to a 2 13 [late stack setup eventually but funds are low and i dont want to buy more gasket material yet

    so once its finished it will be -NNNNN+NNNNN-|-NNNNN+NNNNN- no holes in the positive plate 1/4T x 3/8W holes on bottom alternating sides for water in and 3/8T x 1/2W holes on top alternating sides for gas out

    New here.

    Hi Guys.
    I'm totally new to this, and would like some advice/help if you can please.

    Do the center of the plates not have tobe cut like the gaskets you are using?
    I am trying to visualize where the water goes in and where the hho gas comes out, in a dry cell configuration. Or more so the area where the HHO is formed.
    Thanks

    imagine a sandwich. a slice of steel lets say 6" by 6"
    now imagine a gasket on top of that also 6" by 6" but missing all but the other edge by maybe 1/2"
    put another sheet of steel 6" by 6" on top of that. What you would have would be 2 plates and one gasket seperating them. Now you need a place for electrolyte to flow in via a single hole toward the bottom of EACH plate and a hole for gasses to escape via a hole in EACH plate toward the top. continue builing your sandwich and you can make a larger generator. the space in between each sheet of steel allows space for HHO production. The gap between steel plates is from the gasket holding a gap between plates but only around the edges

    Well let us know when you get to the cleansing and conditioning part if you need some pointers. I would definitely make sure to wipe the plates down with alcohol or pure acetone to get those finger prints off. Congrats on your project's commencement.
