    Yep I'm just going to drill out the existing thread, tap a new thread with a standard size, and grab something from the hardware store.

    Thanks. Dumb question but what is the “10” in 10-28?

    What if I just retap slightly larger with a more standard thread size?

    Edit: 10 is a #10 screw (3/16”) :q

    Might be tough to find a replacement. i did see the eBay ones but they are expensive! If I try and re-tap it, I guess I would need to go big enough to fully remove the existing threads?

    It's fine now. But I guess it's more that in a year or so, if it's only half empty and it goes bad, then I lose half a bottle.

    Is it freezing that really stuffs the glue? Or does heat also do it?

    Thanks. The ss-400c is a lot more expensive! Can't justify that.

    Seems like in that low-end price range you either fork out for the upgraded blade clamps or just live with the annoyance.

    Foilboard looks pretty good. Easy to fit and looks like it won’t mind any condensation buildup. Also means I can leave a gap between the insulation and tiles, which is good I think?
