Now for our bottom plate for the air cleaner.. In order to keep the filter located properly (keep it from moving around) we decided to add a bead to the bottom of the plate.

Then the plate is trimmed to a circle, and the thumbnail dies in the Lennox used to start the shrinking process around the edge.

We then jumped on the Erco kick shrinker to flatten the uneven surface..

And repeat. Repeatedly. We have two or three more rounds to go and we can start tipping and stretching.
