Lexel Adhesive Caulk 5 oz. Squeeze Tube
Works great for installing the entrance cylinder and cleanout access. I have not found another adhesive caulk that will stick to polypropylene plastics well. Water cleanup. One 5 oz. tube is enough to caulk 5 to 7 Purple Martin Houses.
Our friend Chuck Abare says this about Lexel: "In all my previously made gourds, I used a material called LEXEL. I have found that this material is much better suited for an application like this and plus, it NEVER hardens and it sticks to the Polyethylene parts extremely well. Gourds that I prepared 4 years ago are still going very strong without a single failure or crack. I would suggest that if you fear that using PPCA might be a problem for you, then use the Lexel. It can be obtained from Amish Gourds or from many hardware outlets." Chuck is an expert on Purple Martin gourds, you can read more of his ideas in our helpful hints, Purple Martin Gourd section.

Light Base Made with recycled materials
A light base is a must for making gourd luminaries. The base helps stabilize the gourd, so it won’t tip like it sometimes will by putting the light directly into the side of the gourd.

Easy to clip light cord into base, slot on side allows for cord to be inserted and held in place. Also great to use as a base for gourds that do not sit flat. Light cord and bulb not included with base.

Professional Rotary Tool Set
Miniature precision machine with aluminum die-cast head. Quiet, precise and efficient! Grinder with 34 industrial quality bits & cutters with shanks ? 3/32'' (2.3 mm). High concentricity (maximum run out .001''). This high-revving motor has full-wave electronic speed control capable of producing continuously variable speeds between 5,000 and 20,000 rpm and is usable for extended periods at a time. The ground steel spindle runs in a ball bearing assembly, minimizing play. Six high concentricity collets sized 1/32'', 1/16'', 5/64'', 3/32'', 7/64'' and 1/8'' (1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.4, 3.0 and 3.2 mm) along with a collet nut are included. MICROMOT steel collets are hardened and thus have a high, consistent flexibility. They also maintain prolonged accuracy, even after regular use. The triple-slit collet is substantially more difficult to manufacture than the four-slit type, but offers a better load-bearing surface. This is especially important for cutters with small shank diameters. These collets should not be compared with unhardened, four-slit collets of brass and aluminum.
