Step 8Finish shaping and taping the hood
Tape the inside and outside of each edge and seam, and where the hood joins the dryer..
Continue trimming and taping the hood to the Dryer.
When Possible, fold the edges of the hood between the back panel and the dryer, and screw the back panel in place tightly. You may need to reach inside the hood to reach the screws in order to tighten them. I was Glad to have a 6" vent hole to reach into the hood, and the sheer size of the hood made it easier to work in.
And I made it plenty big enough for air to flow in easily.
Finish by wrapping the material around the duct hole.
I made several "Daisy Petal" cuts to help wrap the material around the vent hole.
Make sure the vent hose fits snugly inside the duct hole.
Finish for looks and functionality.
If you are going to use tape on visible parts of the dryer you might want to pick up some White Duct Tape for a nicer look.
I spent time being neat and careful, and I think it paid off.
