So far, the pictures have covered the raw material and how to get the initial steps done. Nothing really too difficult, plumbers do it everyday and so can you or else, if you know a plumber .... hehehe.

The rings were cut in half, which gives you 8 crescents as they are shown here. Take a few seconds and lap them over a piece of sandpaper to get rid of the splinters that might either cut you or else make mounting difficult.

Test Drive

It is always advisable to test fit the parts before going on with more permanent measures of assembly, in this case, it is simply placing the crescents in a test pattern into the remaining bottom part of the pipe cap.

The eight hemicircles are placed on their edges into the cap in a pinwheel-like arrangement. There is still one problem, though, that is, there has to be a possibility for the air to escape the cap.
