Hi, well i use a fan shroud for a toroid and it works quite well. i just
used vinyl tape over seam where they were joined, removed the clips the fan
mfg. used to hold the together. work quit well, once in a while it will burn
a hole in the tape then it acts like a breakout point. I am going to tack
them together with the "mig" welder someday. cul brian f.
