Mike,

Try a paper mache topload - you can make them very smooth, and they look
quite professional. Then use aluminium tape to cover it.

Best regards,
Jason

Hi All,
I was hoping some people might share their knowledge of making smooth,
homebrew toroids... I'm so sick of looking at those flexible duct toploads
:-þ
I was thinking of using bondo or something to coat a flexible aluminum
toroid to make it smooth, then coat with aluminum tape. However, when I
apply the tape, it always forms these unsightly wrinkles along the
curvature... how do I avoid these?
Thanks a ton...
-Mike
