Post re: Adhesive Method Used on Desal Cone
In the Plan of Procedures, the flexible plastic cone is adhered to the plexiglass lid via chemical melting. However, in the construction of the first prototype, the makers were hesitant to do any step which would be irreversible, at least at this preliminary date. Therefore, in the first prototype, the cone is taped to the lid, allowing for design changes do occur without the need to re-construct the entire cone.
