And, that post converted BACK into english by Altavista:
Humor is good. I wonder what would happen if it was done again. :) Note:
I did not alter this output, or the input in any way. Chip, I am not
sure your message would get across correctly to German readers.

I experimented with role protective caps the same way, which you
describe. The two problems, which must overcome you, manufacture a
relationship of the smooth, low profile within the role, and can, to
throughout roll the condenser.
in order to solve the first problem, I use copper tape, in order to
stick a piece of the aluminum bridge to the aluminum flashing. They
should soften (to anneal) aluminum, by heating it up. They can use your
kitchen furnace, in order to do this. They should also form the bridge
only approximately for 2.54: -), Centimeter far, because it keeps
rippled/crinkled when rolling, the condenser and must bend in the
opposite direction if they attach it to the electrical edge contacts.
Softening aluminum helps you also with that whole bending.
The second problem, the condenser is rolling throughout, because you
must roll it up first, indicates, where the links go, entrollen it, set
Links on it and back necessarily roll it above. I use a piece of the PVC
pipe with a slot, which is cut him. I inserted the end of the aluminum
plate and Plastiksandwiches into the slot before roles it above. I use
hose clips, in order to squeeze the pipe together down, so that it
sand-yielded better accesses. As soon as I have the pipe at the end, I
roll the thing above with the pipe in the center. If you stop the pipe
in something like a clamping sheet metal or drechseln, you can roll
clamp above the condenser, indicate it, entrollen it and RH roll it, so
that the markings align correctly.
