Plexiglas sides sluice

[jaguargene]

Hi I'm thinking of making a Plexiglas sides sluice with alum bottom 6 foot long (dredge)for my gold hog scrubber matting so I can see the pitch and flow rate.Any ideals?

Check with fish tank manufacturers in your area. I'm sure they try to use every last bit, but they may take interest in your project and arrange some scraps.

rather than alum bottom and plexi sides, why not just buy a peice of Lexan/plexiglass and heat the sides to bend it and your leaking problems would be cut off at the pass!ive been thinking of doing just that for sometime now,BUT ive got to many things going on to do this!plus ive run out of room for anything else in my shop!

I have made dozens of sluices,dredge boxes,dry washers and headers with see through sides to study different riffles,air flows,jet flows,crash/bash headers,over/under configurations and they do get scratched pretty fast and visability does go adios but cool tool to see whatzup for awhile anyhow-John

yes the plexiglass scratchs quickly but the Lexan dont scratch near as bad! but it does cost a little more!
