Home made powerful steam blower/cleaner reclaiming a broken clothes steam-iron. Useful for cleaning, melting glue and wax, (impure) extraction of oil from seeds, degreasing/dewaxing, removing residues of solvents, enhancing the action of detergents and chemicals, etc. This video is mainly for educational purposes. • This project requires some skills and proper materials otherwise the resulting product could be quite dangerous because hot water, steam and electricity are all present in the same confined space, so I discourage naives to make this thing because you really must know what you do, how to properly seal electric wires hot-water proof! The switch is peculiarly tricky so I've made one myself. • Here is the link to the video that show how I've made the switch: • Why making your own switches and how to . • For the handle I've used hardwood saturated with bi-component polyester, and Silicone chaulk for hot water as sealant, both able to withstand up to 180C. • DO NOT use softwood, and wood MUST be saturated with resin, insoluble at high temperature. Phenolic resins are ideal (as they are thermosetting), even though somewhat toxic (they tend to release phenols when heated). A healthier alternative (when set) is (bi-component) polyester which however usually do not keep more than 120C (industrial grade may reach up to 180C, thogh).
