Hi Steve

, Yesterday I got a call to look at a Bator so I when. It was a GQF Prof. It looked good. I ask the man what do you want for it. He said $75 to 100. So I pulled out the billfold and give him a 100. It has the clear door, 5 gal water, Quails and chukar trays, 6 moist pad and a med sz box with parts. So now I have two Big boys. LOL. The New sportsman should be here today or Friday.

... Some guys have all the luck ....

I know it's a song, but it works here

Great deal on the GQF, regarding sandwiching insulation between two pieces of plywood.....how would you mate them? Construction Adhesive, Bolts, Finishing Nail?

I'd use contact adhesive that is styrofoam safe. I'd bond an 8 x 4 sheet, then cut the pieces on a table saw as if it were just any other sheet material. Make allowances for trimming the exposed edges.​

By the way.

This is how Travel Trailer walls are made. Usually they are a sandwich of aluminum, styrofoam and thin wall board, and they are very strong.

particle board (OSB) unless sealed VERY well, will absord moisture from the air, not to mention what it would absorb from 60% humidity in a bator..

I have a fairly new sportsman and it is made from plywood..

If you are going to sandwich styrofoam etc.. why not just get a few cull steel entry doors and cut them up? or get an upright freezer carcuss..

If you get right down to it, the R values on such thin walls is minimal and not even worth comparing..

what you want is something you can hose out and put back to work quickly..

My reason for posting on this subject was simply to correct the view that solid wood was *better* than particle board.

There are many reasons to buy a Dickey, but that wasn't a good reason, and could have been misleading.

Without hurting anyone's feelings, I suggest people should start reading this thread from the beginning....and perhaps read what the largest Peacock Farm in the US say's about a solid piece of wood and why he got rid of his GQF Incubators....google Legg Peacocks in Missouri. We all have an opinion, some of it comes from knowledge based on experience....Mr. Twigg you sir have lot's of experience.
