Glad you ve liked what youve read so far I ve been occupied this week but am back now and am ready to carry on full steam ahead - STELTHY

hell yea. I am thinking of getting some lumber and building one following your moves almost. I want mine to hold 4 plants though. thanks for the inspiration Stealthy.

This is a beautiful show of craftsmanship. Good job Stelthy. From glancing through all 71 pages I have come to realize that I want my cab to be similar to this when I decide to build it. It's gonna be a 3'd x 4'w x 6.5't with 600 watts and a scrog method using canfans. I have subbed to this thread and will be watching closely for more details.

Hi FMH. I am glad I have been inspirational in my work on this project Its good to hear, you joined RIU expecially to praise my work ... Yeah you should defo do a cab, I don't mind answering any questions you may have .. I will be adding some more pics etc this afternoon, I just gotta install some fans and take some pics before I upload my latest work. Stayed tuned I'll be back soon - STELTHY

still tweeking that cab huh? Seems like you've covered everything twice and then boom...something else comes along. lookin great man.

I decided to seal all the outside joins with silver tape and sealent, I realise that the ballasts need air circulation to keep the cool, its no good having them boxed in. I have a few things to do...Firstly, I need to cover a majority of the unit in 'Chopper-Stopper' to stop the heat signals from being detected by the '1-time' - STELTHY

As you can see I've added silver tape to almost all the joins, (the top will be done to) and I cut vent. holes to help cool the ballast, I figured venting wouldn't be enough so I plan to add fans as well - STELTHY

Although the top is not as tidy as it could be (largley due to the cables etc) this is where the biggest signal is most likely to be detected from so I put 2 layers of Chopper-Stopper up there before tending to the rest of the unit - STELTHY

I applied the chopper from one side, and stapled it in place as I went, then the back and then the other side, this stuff is £5 / $10 aprox. per meter, so its important to be exact with the measurements or it can get expensive, I could have fixed the film in place with only a few staples but as with everything I do I wanted to get a nice finish to so I used hundreds lol - STELTHY

Excuse my wife's ass in the top right lol, The rest of the chopper stopper was applied in 2 halfs, A top and a bottom section, I cut out 2 flaps so I can access the battery compartments to the rez. thermometers.. and promtly tape them up to keep the heat sig. safe - STELTHY

Here are the flaps on the lower section - STELTHY

This is the left side all done the back looks pretty much the same - STELTHY

...And here is the view from the right, it was tough to cut around the pipe but after playing around with the sheeting and the scalpal for a bit I got there in the end also NB/ where the Chopper-Stopper overlaps I stapled all along the overlap, and then ducktaped the line to seal it - STELTHY

Ok I went to my local electronics store and bought a load of stuff, to sort out keeping my ballasts cool - STELTHY
