You fuse, you lose huh? Well, then I'll just have make sure the rig is tight. It's tempting to dab some sealant on the joints, but it would be nice to be able to twist the pipes tho, so I can adjust the angle the beams if needed... We'll see how it goes.

I did acquire some "plumber's tape" from the plumber-store, I guess it is the right kind as they only had that one, but the edges of the pipes are razor-sharp and shreds the tape going in... Might need to file it down a bit and get rid of that edge.

I'll post updates. Nothing is happening in the germ department yet, so I've got lots of time to get this right.
