I assembled a basic Dust Deputy onto my own bucket but the gasket material isn’t working with the plastic lid and base of the Dust Deputy cyclone.
I used a 6” x 6” pure red rubber gasket that is used by plumbers. The rubber isn’t as soft as the gasket that Dust Deputy provides with their deluxe kits and I can’t get a seal without cranking down on the bolts. Tightening any tighter will most likely break the base of the Dust Deputy, the bucket lid or both.
A correct gasket needs to be softer and more than likely some type of “closed cell” foam in a 6” x 6” sheet.
So far, the ONLY candidate is a kitchen place mat. It’s kind of iffy to work and is pushing up the cost on the build.
Anyone else have Dust Deputy build experience or gasket ideas???
