RE: mixmasters Digest, Vol 30, Issue 10

Bravo Felix, Seth, Bravo!

Your work on Methenol Recovery is great! Felix, you mention takeing a look, did you mean I can vew plans on line or did you mean view the tower it's self on sight?

One other question please, I see people using PVC to route their systems flow. I wonder is it phezable to use copper tube? That's probably a dumb question, but Im curious?

Thanx, Bill Dodds
