Hey Dan,<br />
<br />
I just found the expresso machine hard to work with with not much steam, maybe it was the thrift store unit I bought. The wallpaper steamer hold lots of water and can be carried around easily. I bought the hose from Stew Mac and just cut hose on steamer and couple them together with a barbed coupler.<br />

That's what Frank was using back in the mid-'80s before the expresso craze. I still have mine but now I use it for pressure dyeing veneers.<br />

Hey Mike :)<br />
I would have to agree with you on using the water trap...it took longer to get the steam. I just figured it took longer because of the volume of my water trap compared to a small flask.<br />
<br />
Also makes sense to me now on the lowering of the temperature of the steam. I still had a heckuva lot of water on the joint after a spell. I just didn't mention that as steam will revert to...well, water hehehee.

Maybe it's just me, but I've tried the trap and didn't care for it. Seems that it really extends the time waiting for the steam ..which isn't bad by itself, but it also seems to lower the temp and -after all's said and done- the amount of water produced by the steam that finally makes it to "the target" is about the same. For the record, I use a small old-fashioned pressure cooker on a hotplate... Goodwill, $5.99

What advantage did you find with the wallpaper steamer over the espresso machine?

Didn't put any of that Jack in to make steam and direct it elsewhere, did ya?<br />
<br />
Thanks for the tip on making the trap, I've thinking about doing that myself. I didn't like the expresso machine so I bought a wall paper steamer which works good!<br />
