Edwin,
One of the recent wood mags (not sure which one) says PVC is not good
for DC. Just can't remember why not. I know it's easy to just glue up
and you're ready, but I would like to know why PVC won't work.

Because people will lead you to believe that if you use non-grounded plastic
there will be an explosion bigger than the H-bomb.

Where I work, we move 20,000 pounds of material a day through 4" pvc.
Probably half of our industry does. I use pvc in my shop with good
results. Just emptied the DC last night, in fact.

I hope you grounded that posting before you hit the send button. I
don't want any of your static blowing up my hard drive.
