Re: A way to avoid surface scum

That's the trick, getting the right balancing point. I can make a box, and make a
pocket of air, and test it, then adjust things and test it again, etc. Sounds like a
lot of trial and error.

Can you send me a link to the cup you bought for your system? I'd like to see it.
Visuals are great!

Re: A way to avoid surface scum

I guess that would have been easier than trying to describe it, huh?

I'm sorry that the pictures are so crappy, nobody seems to have a good
picture up. The second one is better than the first, and the third is
probably best of all.

TOM/Oscar Enterprise's (it's the exact same thing...)

And, finally, another unhelpful picture (half-way down, on the right)
