Gents, I'm looking for plans to build a small desiccant air dryer. I'm

Any plans out there?
I can probably figure out how to make one, but I was just looking for

Are you talking about desiccant based room air dryers or compressed

I am selling the former.

A piece of 3" pipe with two threaded end caps. Drill and tap the end
caps for 1/4" NPT, fill the pipe with silica gel and a bit of angel

What's angel hair? Some kind of fabric?

Chris

Angel hair is spun glass. Its used in aquarium filters along with
activated charcoal or carbon. A layer of this will hold larger
particles but still allow air/water to flow through. Window screen
will work, too, if you support it somehow, say with perforated metal
