Fat man, I tried a piece of shop vac filter for the black and it worked a lot better. Haven't tried the red yet. Thanks for the advice.
I got my 2" top and bottom cup at Aubucon Hardware - they are the only ones I've found that have that flat buttom top cup with threads. The adhesive I got at Home Depot but I've seen it at other stores also, but as long as you use something that glues your base to your bottom cup it doesn't matter - I used the stuff I have cause I used a piece of bathroom tile, and on my 3" bed my base was plexiglass and it worked great with that too.
If you have any questions just post em - I had a lot before I built my beds and the guys here helped. Just enjoy passing on the info.

Thanks Fatman and cray will try to build this weekend.
No problem glad to help. If I could get McMaster Carr to match up the screen filter I'd order a hugh sheet of it. The number from the company in Switzerland was on the mesh but McMaster doesn't cross reference their stock number with the companies so unless you have money laying around you have to order what you think is right and if it isn't you have to send it back and try again. I tried twice and both times it didn't match up.
If you really want to get the mesh screens for it talk to TJ's tackle Welcome to TJ's Tackle he'll tell you what info you'd need to send to match a filter round for the cup you have. Last time I talked to him they were 4-5 bucks for 1.
Check out Bugman on the MO board, he makes and sells them, probably hook you right up.

Got a question now. Is it a very fine mesh? Do you cut it to put it under the cup or just screw it in? Thanks
I have 3 different grades of mesh fine, medium and course. I really like the fine and the medium is good for heavier/thick powders. As I said I haven't been able to match the mesh I have up to what's in McMaster Carr.
I use the adhesive shown in the step by step, stretch it tight and stick it on flip it over and heavy weight on top of it and let it cure good.
If your talking the rounds from TJ's I don't know how he puts them on you'd have to email him.
