Where do i put the PC fan in my 'bator?

[redhen]

Hello, i have a LG still air incubator. I also have a PC fan set up to put in there for forced air..but, i can not figure out where to put it! if i set it on the wire floor in there it seems to cool the eggs that sit right in front of it...and also it had no blade guard on it..(i learned that the HARD way!...

..) so, i am afraid a baby will fall in it and hit the blades..

....HELP! please and thanks!, Wendy **ooh, also, how can i use the fan with my egg turner? it wont fit in there....i'm confused!...

Hang it from the top like a sealing fan. About pinkey width off the top

placed mine where it should go ( between the two windows) use paper clips that i made straight then put hook on the end and pushed the other end though the top and bent them over, and took a pice of hard cloth and made a guard. make sure the fan blows up, not down. if it blows down it will cool eggs down , blow up will not. william

It should fit between the thermostat an the heat element. You can use anything from 4 screws an washers to 4 strings with knots it them.

so..i want to suck the air up from the bottom (by the eggs) then? and not blow the air down on the eggs?
