Vapor NanoCoating Copper Shapes with an Egg Cooker

.1 Gather supplies

This is the egg cooker used in this process (source: walmart)

.2 remove the plastic egg holder tray and instructions from the egg cooker

Hardware cloth is a fence material (source: Home depot, etc)

.3 Spread the hardware cloth over the inner surface of the cooker

.4 Cut Hardware cloth into a shape that fits into the inner ledge

of the egg cooker

.5 Trim the hardware cloth shape to allow the lid to close securely

.6 Set your cooker into a plastic tote box. This will contain any accidental

mess.

These types of tube cutters will make this easy. A smaller cutter will also work fine for cutting ¾ inch pipe (source: Home Depot

This is the M type of copper pipe used in this process (source: Home Depot)

More details on the pipe as sold in Home Depot

.7 Use the cutter to cut a 2 inch length of pipe

.8 Repeat for several pipes

.9 Put on your safety gloves, respirator, and goggles. Open Ventilation

if you are inside

.10 Remove lid to egg cooker and begin pouring lye on the unplugged egg

cooker surface

.11 Pour enough lye to evenly coat the bottom of the egg cooker

12. Carefully pour distilled water onto the lye

13. Make sure the water level does Not raise above the hardware cloth

.14 Carefully arrange your copper pipes upright in the center

.15 Set the lid on. Make sure the lid can fit securely onto the cooker

.16 Plug in the egg cooker

.17 Press the on button while holding the cooker in place with the

other hand

.18 remove both hands. The Cooker will begin to heat up and create caustic vapor which will coat

the pipes and exit out of the steam hole

.19 Note the time

.20 The egg cooker will shut off. Wait a few minutes

.21 Again press the cook button while carefully holding the lid handle

with the other hand

.22 The unit will steam again then shut off

.23 Set the lid loosely on the tote box

.24 Unplug the egg cooker

.25 Note the Time

.26 Wait 1 hour and remove tote box lid

NOTES

According to Armen, the copper should be slowly dried over the course of 4 – 5 days. After the last steaming cycle, by leaving a small hole in the container for the liquid inside to dry at a slow pace. This is his method of creating the best nanocoat. I have shortened his process and have gotten GANS production. I have shortened this process and have gotten GANS production.
