      3ltr of distilled water goes nowhere I used it all on 12" mirror had to get more for seconary.a few stubbon bits hung on for a few warm soaks but surrendered in the end, found one of the mirror mount brackets was loose and proved it pays to check nuts and bolts once in a while

      Steppenwolfwest has a great guide video on youtube that stopps all the worries about this opperation.

      I think I'll put it in a new thread in diy section and add photos, needless to say it was quite effective with my 300pds, maybe because the tube is made of steel.
