Hi Christopher, Coilers,

I hope you live in a dry area...that looks like a chunk of
plywood you've built your filter on.  I'd be quite worried
about carbon tracking as the wood wicks up moisture out of
the air.  If you dried it well, then coated it good with a
sealant like your poly, you might be OK.  Also, you didn't
say how thick the blobs of glue are, so they may provide a
bit of additional insulation from the wood.  You've done a
fine job otherwise.  Happy and safe coiling!
