3" Bed all cured up

[Fatman]

Well I let it cure for a week and I checked and it is ready to go. Only thing left is trim the mesh and hook it up!!!

Completed bed - little weird on this one as I used plexiglass this time, local hardward store trimmed it for me and it was free

Looking up through the bottom

Cups with mesh attached - just have to be trimmed.

I'm done building them - got 2 3" with one extra cup and 3 2" beds with 10 cups so I'm done, except for using them.

At the store LOL - I looked at Ace, Abucon, True Value, Home Depot and Lowe's. I could not find any that looked like the cups I use in 5" that had a flat bottom for the mesh to be stuck on, they were all beviled.

I'm gonna pull Cads plans out again, to see how they're fitting the top to the bottom for use. Just don't see how they're doing it.

These plans show the large cups you guys are talking about, they have the wide bottoms whereas the ones I have go narrow. http://www.ohiogamefishing.com/community/showthread.php?t=65633 this is basically the same as the beds I build with different style pieces.

I looked at all my local stores and the threaded male cups all have beviled edges - you need that thick flat bottom on the cup if you want to glue mesh to it.
