    I've been building a bellows/puffer drywasher and I'm to the point of trying to figure out how much canvas material to cut out for the bellows - how much at the widest throw point, and how much throw it needs to have for a riffle/bellows box 12"W x 24"L size. 7", 8", 9", 10", 12"? I'm also needing to know what to attach the material to the box and bellows flap with - glue? and if so what kind, staples and glue? Silicone adhesive? Any and all help is greatly appreciated. And I have more questions with these being a good start. I'd like to cut and mount the bellows material today if at all possible. Best regards, Gerald GPAA Life Member

    I would suggest looking at a couple existing puffers out there for ideas/dimensions. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Otherwise, I have a puffer and you can email me directly and we'll chat.

    Hi Sean and much thanks for your response. And, I didn't receive any notification about your response, and the reason for my extremely late reply. I'm still building my puffer, since I don't want to screw it up after all of the sweat and tears I've already put into it, and still stuck on which way to mount the bellows material and how much. My email address is Norseman_24@yahoo.com. We can continue on via email or by phone text. Cellphone #9283003652. Thanks, Gerald
