Does yours have a paper type filter or a "chemstone" filter? Here is a link to a place selling the stone filter for about $10: http://askenzos.com/Store/viewitem.php?productid=2244 Good luck!

So much so that I have returned the silica bricks (except a few that I kept to repair the fireplace) and cancelled the solid fuel boosters order. Seriously: what I described is quite simple and does not add to the workload. On the contrary, I strongly believe that it saves time by avoiding glitches and associated head-scratching. I have used this process in the wings and tail feathers (all done) and fuse (past "boat stage").

The parts do remain attached, not doubt, but they can be slightly shifted from the original position when they were drilled. Here's why, in case you don't know: The rivet whole is slightly larger than the rivet, and a cleco, having an irregular shape, has plenty of room to move in a rivet hole. For instance an A5 Avex rivet has a diameter between 0.140" and 0.155" (the rivet has "fins", therefore the diameter varies). A solid rivet diameter is 0.155" The corresponding drill bit is 0.160". A black cleco is 0.149" at its widest point - but it is not round. (Note: these are measurements I took from Items I have. You may find slightly different measurements.) In longer parts (more than a foot or two) or assemblies of more than two parts, I find that if parts are not perfectly aligned, it's hard to insert the rivets. And, worse, parts will be warped or difficult to match as I proceed with construction. So, instead of simply trusting the clecoes, I started adding spent drill bits here and there (a solid rivet is better than a cleco, but not as good as a spent drill bit). I eventually started cutting drill bits and grinding one end to make it easier to insert them. (The grinding process consists of putting the drill bit in a drill or drill press and grinding it with a dremel tool.). The opposite end is covered with masking tape - see attached photo. I have a bunch of these, A4 and A5, and use them frequently. Hopefully this can be useful to someone.
