There must be a proper choice in material and a proper working of that material to get satisfactory results in the making of any product. You gave an excellent description of a proper soldering procedure and all I say is that with a proper implementation of clear polycabonate there would be none of these cracking problems. When someone tinkers with there stuff then there is an added chance of things going awry. I wonder how many people unsoldered there blocks to toy with the insides (it has happened) and had problems sealing them up because they aren't that familliar with the proper procedure?

Tru, tru, I'd say something like with the "proper" soldering/brazing job, adding a window of something, so that the sides will have no leaking, but the window will provide some "adquate" Eye-Candy, probably even more if you could make it look right? No previous offense intended Just tried of hearing about plastic tops that fail when, it just seems so illogical to add all these gaskets and use materials that will naturally provide an increased risk of failure or potential...
