cone to the bottom of the PVC, allowing the slight overlap to
cover the seam. In reviewing the prototype construction, this is
also more accurate.
Once the silos were completed, I used two-pipe brass railings
from Mike Rose Hobbies
for the walkway around
the top. These railings were the perfect solution, since the
brass easily forms to the radius of the silos. The trick to instal-
lation is laying the railings flat on a piece of masking tape and
pre-marking the holes with the correct spacing to accept the
pins of the railings. Then apply the masking tape around the
silos, and drill the holes. Once all the holes are drilled, remove
the masking tape and gently bend the railings around the silo

with CA cement to the PVC silo. The next step is slowly
wrap the styrene around the PVC spreading CA cement
every half inch and firmly pressing the styrene against
the PVC to prevent bubbles from getting between the
PVC and styrene.
