Cheers Clive. Yes I thought about your tape method but in the end I wanted to also have a warm water bath around it to help with the bubble removal so went with the water butt tap. As it turned out I only put a bit of hot water in and then chickened out as it felt like the plastic was relaxing and I had visions of the rubber washer failing letting the water into the epoxy. In the end it was pretty hot in the workshop ( heaters on again) and it flowed ok. Not sure I would go with the water bath again . . .

On the other tap I could have ordered a carbide drill but I had it fixed within the hour and it was on with the build !
