I decided to put some .220 plexiglass on the bottom of my SEF coil cover and then epoxy the cover onto the coil. This was a lot of work but it was worth the effort.
Below are some pics of the project. Thanks for looking.
Here is a pic of the coil taped .
The coil cover taped on both the inside and outside edges.
The cover is epoxied onto the oversized piece of plexiglass.
A router was used to trim the inside and outside of the plexiglass. I was very pleased with the results.
5/32" holes were drilled so no air could get trapped and have a void between the coil and cover.
The bottom of the coil is now scuffed using VERY coarse sandpaper.
Epoxy was than applied to both the inside of the cover and also to the bottom of the coil itself.
I than put the cover on and put some lead weight in cans to compress the cover to the coil.
I use one tube of epoxy for the plexiglass step and two tubes for doing the cover to the coil.
The above three pics are of the edge of the completed project.
