Re: [TCML] Making a larger toroid ideas



Peter Terren,

My MC-52 small Mori Clips arrived today from Hong Kong even though the eBay
add looked like it was coming from Australia.

Anyway, these small clips are like tiny and clip in one direction. I didn't
see before nor do I now how you use them to join together 2 aluminum dryer
ducting sections. Do you put two of the Mori clips together with one of
them being upside down. This way you can join 2 aluminum dryer ducting
sections coming from opposite directions but there will not be a flush fit.

Can you explain how you use them to connect 2 sections of aluminum dryer
ducting together?

Thank you,

Tim
