Adding viewing window to Incubator. ...

[yellermelon]

OK this is probably the wrong forum...probably belongs in incubating forum. I dont know figured more people would respond to it here lol. Move it if need be.
Anyway. I have a freezer/incubator. I have been thinking about getting a beverage cooler like was in preachermans post about his state of the art facility. But really the only reason I would be buying a new one is because of the glass door. I was also considering putting a glass viewing window on the incubator I currently own.. Personally I like the size of my incubator, it makes a great Stainless steel work table that is easilly cleaned. So how do I go about putting in a glass window. I am very good at fabricating. Its my job lol. So how do I make sure the temps stay stable? Would thick glass and silcone work? Any suggestions welcome!
Pc of my currentinc. Wasnt working in this pic though.

Cut a hole in the door and secure a thick piece of plexy to it. I am going to ghetto rig one like that just for kick once I find one. You may want to gut the door and do the same on the inside too..... double pain windows are better insulated.

The one you linked to is hot though!!!

yes its such a decision. I could make mine work and save 200 bucks...but the one from sams club sure is nice lol.

If youdecide to make the door on yours....Make sure to double the glass. one piece outside one piece inside the door. Leave a little air space between the two. It worked for me that way I built mine from scratch. Kinda makes it insulated.
