Waterblock

BabyEater · 2002-06-30 16:59:02

Iam making a waterblock, copper with a plexi glass top. I am using 5 minute epoxy to attach the plexi to the copper. I was just wondering how long to leave it before i can check for leaks .

Ah it leaked. I should have put epoxy on the intake and outake.
I thought they wouldn't have needed any because i drilled the plexi smaller than the intake/outtake , they were very tight to screw in .
I put some epoxy on them so i'll have to test again in an hour.
