Here it is and I will explain what it is in a minute.
Okay I am back on the computer.
This is a contraption an old biker friend of mine much older than me showed me how to make.
He owned an engine rebuild and machine shop and I worked there from time to time.
It is a pneumatic gasket compound applicator.
You put the tube of gasket compound in the pipe, stick the end of it out the hole.
You plug in the air hose and use the hole you see on the side to control the flow with your thumb.
The air pressure inside the pipe will seal the cone shaped tube to the hole and squeeze the compound out of the tube.
It will come out evenly and get every last bit of the gasket compound out of the tube.
This is how I am going to apply some high temperature gasket compound inside the groove you see on the canner lid.
Next I need to come up with a way for the lid to turn as I apply the silicone gasket compound.
Once it is done I will let it cure for about 48 hours.
