Step 10Tricky bit...how to seperate the heating element from the main barrel.
Making two washers with the same outside diameter but different inside diameters, I was able to use some non conductive metal cement and glue the two washers together. Then Repeated the same procedure for the other end. This will actually separate the heating element from the main body. To see if my idea worked, I place a lighter on one end of a washer and held the other side of the washer with my hand while a lighter flame heated the washer up...heat did not travel (conduct) to my fingers. Ideal stuff!!!
