Several cuts on the front ribs of HEPA
    #4988523 - 11/28/05 01:21 AM (18 years, 4 months ago)

My HEPA has several cuts on the front ribs (between aluminium separators)because of whong handling. If I glue them thoroughly with say poliurethane glue, will the HEPA be effective or the situation is hopeless? The "paper" inside the HEPA is ok, the cuts were made by metal separators only on the front surfaces of the filtering material.
I think that it should work well after reparing, but my only available method to check if it cathes airborn contaminants is to probe with an open agar dish...
Any ideas?

Thin silicone sealer, a gentle hand & some patience.

A test or 3 will tell the tale.

About all you can do.

like agar said, silicon glue is your best bet.

Thanks my friends for your advice. It seems to me that such damages are not unusual when working with home-made laminars with "opened" filtering surfaces?
