O-Rings for Honeygates
« on: July 02, 2018, 05:15:54 am »
Where can I actually buy these? My honeygates aren't sealed properly and not having O-Rings on them couldn't be helping.

I've tried Bunnings and Ebay, but neither have what I'm after. Where do you guys buy yours?

Don't think that would be food grade.

Better think again, moe.  Maybe ask Curly or Joe.  :wink:   :cheesy:
As Bill said, food factories use hydraulics, too.

pHeh... me 'N Wally may well be 0ld Men, we may well run our bees
different, we may even disagree on "Superior Being" theory, we may even
be at odds on which side of the road to drive and we might not share a
love of the same music genre.... but one thing we as* Men * have in common
as old fuurts, 0ne Thing we have learned, do know, and agree as a rock solid
Truth.
The member does not in the block hole go - the 0ring is all wrong..!!.. no
matter how much lube you slap on it!
Thus "eff yourself" is ambition all SNAFU (d).
