Winter Can Production Process
Step 1. Selection of materials
First of all, you need to find a suitable piece of foam, the thickness of the material should not be more than two centimeters. You can take it from any packaging from household appliances, if such is not at hand, you can buy a sheet of this material in any hardware store. It is also necessary to purchase foil polyethylene (isolon).
Step 2. Harvesting
Using a marker and a metal square, you need to mark and cut the foam. It should turn out: bottom, walls and cover.
Step 3. Bonding
At this stage, you will need ordinary glue such as "Titan", it is very often used in construction. We glue the bottom and walls, then the parts are pulled together with adhesive tape and the joints are carefully glued. If the foam was not cut perfectly smoothly, then you need to fill the empty space with foam scraps and pour them well with glue. After drying, the box must be checked for leaks, if it leaks, repeat the gluing procedure again.
Step 4. The handle and insulation of the cana
You need to find the material that will serve as the handle, and glue it well on the adhesive tape to the foam. Then again, you will need a marker and a corner, and markup is done, how much material is needed for the entire surface of the kan. Cutting can be done a little larger, then cut off the excess. Isolon is wrapped around polystyrene and fastened with tape.
Step 5. Cover
A foam cover is cut out and insulated in the same way as the base of the can.
Conclusion
Before you start live bait in the can, you need to wait until the smell of glue completely disappears, otherwise the fry will simply take pleasure in chemistry. Depending on the thickness of the isolon, such a can can withstand up to -20 degrees.
It is worth knowing what device can be used as a container for food. Putting hot sausages in this box in the morning, they will remain warm until noon, and the bread will not freeze. In summer, kang can be used to store bait, they will feel much better than in a normal bucket.
