hey jaydee116 quick question

have a question about the aluminum block you've made,

how are you sealing off the top plate? do you make a channel for an O-ring and screw it tight or...

i've got a copper block, and copper HC, i want to make an alum NB block since i have access to alot of alu (no more copper

), just not sure how to mount a top plate, copper i can solder, i mean my dad can solder but aluminum you cant. im also wondering if i use an aluminum block and a copper block, it i will get that terrible battery effect ppl keep talking about.

thx
