I was a bit dismayed by the negative replies to me assembly issues, but

Seriously, I think much of it wasn't intended to be negative (I admit to
having missed at least half the thread, though)

There were many great replies, both for experiences with adhesives as well
as sources of info for bulkhead fittings.

but was more in the sense
of not realizing that what was obvious to many responders wasn't obvious
to
you. I know when I initially responded about glues, I was completely
unaware you were trying to put a fitting through the Rubbermaid and
thought
you were trying to fix a hole.

It would be a wonderful thing if anybody _does_ know of any build-your-own
filter sites with real part numbers if they'd post links.

Again, there were several great sites posted, both with DIY info, and
commercial parts ordering sites, but both you and Garee apparently missed
all of them.

Even when the
original builder is in a different country, if you have actual part
numbers
you can find out exactly what they are on the web, then you can find local
suppliers that sell similar items. It eliminates a lot of guess work.
