This year I changed out my old Altman 3 cell, Sky cycs for Selador Vivid-R's for dealing with cyc washes. I'm repurposing the SkyCycs as a ground row, and am running into some "issues."
The instruments are mounted on trunions so they can stand on their own, but by doing this, they are now facing UP instead of down. (Gel facing skyward.)
I'm loading the safety screen in to make sure nothing falls down on the lamps, but the gel now rests on the safety screen and is baking onto the screen. If the screen makes contact with the gel, after a short time I get burn out at the contact point because of the heat transfer. (These are 1K lamps, BTW.)
Is there a better way to deal with the gel, now that these instruments are inverted?
