3 Required Supplies

  • CYA Glue with Latex

    • This CYA has latex in it which makes it a good compromise for incompressibility (CYA) and flexibility (latex) to ensure the transducer will not shear off the flexible tank wall.

  • CYA Accelerator

    • Both of the above are from this vendor which is available on amazon.com: http://www.bsi-inc.com/Pages/hobby/ca.html

  • Plastic “test cell” container
  • 400 grit sandpaper
  • Alcohol
  • Hot glue gun
  • Ultrasonic transducers w/attached wires
  • Spray duster/ air gun
