Good morning, You’ve heard from very qualified glass people on this list and I think I know a little about it myself. They’ve warned you. There’s no reason to reinvent the wheel. This is basic stuff.

Thank you Charlie. Glad to see you are making headway on your DF. What about your Bro. Is he still building his Dragonfly? I did log the p/n for the filter. Like many others on this list, I have CRS.
