r1v3th3ad Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 So I hear how great windcovers are and how much they improve the smoke...so I thought "its time to make one"...I'm broke, so I can't just go buy oneso far I've got about two and a half hours into it, the rest has to waitstarted out with a giant, empty soup can...on the end that is still closed, cut away most of the "lid", the other end cut away a third of the can...then took a tiny soup can and cut it in half, hole in top. put them together and sealed by cutting up a plastic cup and melting it around edge on top....so, once cooled down...on the interior was a gap between cans, filled it up with mud (wall patching plaster)...covered the the interior and exterior...waiting to dry, if I can find something to sand with, then will smooth and paint exterior...maybe with ink from colored pens...might have to apply more mud first, will find out tommorrow when all is dry...pics will come in next stages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r1v3th3ad Posted April 28, 2008 Author Share Posted April 28, 2008 eh, I wanted an actual, sturdy, permanent windcover...it should be dry now, will work on it this evening after class Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iron molly black Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 hmmmm, *starts scanning the pantry shelves for proper-sized canned goods* lol As long as the can isn't coated inside, I think that would work fine for a temp windcover.As far as drywall mud, I will be interested to see how that turns out when it gets heated up. Pics please when finished! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
