I've been using my Styrofoam Hovabator for nearly 20 years now, I've been averaging one or two batches a year. It does have duct tape on parts of it now and I early on replaced the cheapo thermometer with a digital stick thermometer that is pushed through the styrofoam rather then try and read the red liquid glass tube through a cloudy plastic see-thru window. I do use Hydrogen Peroxide (3%) instead of plain water in the water channels to prevent the bacterial slime that will develop otherwise.
