Old Tom Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 Wow! You Aussies sure do know how to build fast. Now if she could only get the glue to dry just as fast.

Reno Chris Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 First sluice I ever made was wood. After a day in the water, the wood absorbed all the water it could hold and it weighed a ton!Second problem - sluices made of plywood - the glue that holds the ply layers together is partly water soluble and will swell and warp and eventually (after a number of uses) fall apart. It will last for a while though - good for an initial design tester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
