lol thx for all teh karma... so far that funnel seems to be doing what i want it to do. the glue is setting right now.
@mojo: im a tough case. i dont wanna pay for one, because i THINK i can do it myself, and i may in fact be able to do it. on the other hand, my brain doesnt match my actual DIY skill. its tragically funny. honestly, i think it will work correctly... it just wouldnt have been as easy as it could have been
@fishheads: that reminds me! i have a bottle called liquid bandages... its basically superglue. thanks for the tip! im gonna try it out
have faith! i will win this battle!
