[Amps] Chimney-Silicone Rubber

[ARNE GJERNING]

Been following the chimney thread.  John, W0UN, gave me the info on glueing
this material and it works well.  Have several made now.

To those wanting to use this material, look in yellow pages of your phone
book under GASKET and see what you can find.  I found one place in
Albuquerque that gave me some samples and enough of one sample to make a
chimney for a GS-35B (about 4in dia and 4 in high.  Enough left to make
another.  The dealer was not sure how to get ends glued so I let him know my
results.  He was happy to know and said if I needed a bit more to let him
know.  Hey, happy campers now.

I tried both ULTRA BLUE and RED High temp gasket sealant (go to the auto
parts stores) and the ULTRA BLUE works best of the 2.
