|  | Regular Member | Join Date: Jul-07 Location: Porepunkah, Vic Age/Gender: 33 | | | I am in the same boat as you in researching the building of my first enclosure and found a reference by another member as to using sink strainers from Reject shop glued in place as covers for a vent. Seemed like a good economical idea to me and may suit the upper sides of your enclosure above the glass. Just an idea.  |
