[QUOTE="blayke, post: 58761, member: 2379"] ok so saw the idea here through a google search but thought id search for a little different than using a threeway hose adapter, so i went for some poly irrigation adaptors/pieces and a standard hose adaptor. so bought the same green bunnings 16l round tub for $4.98 funnel $1.88 irrigation attachments $3.97 and some of the cheap Maxi Nails adhesive which has always worked for me in the past $2.80 so for $13.65 including the sealant adhesive i have the materials for my first try at a blue bowl! it took about half an hour to cut everything down and glue together now just a couple days to properly dry and solidify the position of the output tube in the bowl (facing slightly down) by measuring the width from multiple angles and marking the dead centre then measuring the width of the base of the funnel i could accurately position it dead centre....so i got a needle and piece of fishing line with a marker attached and drew a circle around the middle of the bowl (where the funnel sits) so theoreticall it should be dead centre or near enough as makes no difference. all i need now is some cons to test it! will post pics of it working once i get some... on another note anyone that has used these, what is the best mesh to screen with to keep that fine gold?
