Plasma table maintenance

Tom R. and I am going to be down at the space tomorrow Sat 11/22 to try to drain the pan, and inspect it to try to find where the very small drip leak is. The plan is to be down from 10-2. We will try to work around anyone in the welding area. If anyone is planning on using the plasma table please speak up, and we can coordinate a bit.

We emptied the table and cleaned the seam. We found the crack. It was just too tight of a fit and was damaged while installation of the slats. We are exploring some temporary solutions. The main candidate is a water proof tape to seal the seam. We talked about epoxy, but seems like if it was done correctly would require more downtime. Epoxy is an option later. the tape option will allow us to get it filled tomorrow. Then we can do a permanent fix when we move to the new building, or replace the pan again. If it still leaks after tomorrow my plan is to leave it as long as it does not get worse until after the xmas crafting season or the new building.
