"Also the water got warm inside but never really hot."
That's the problem with ABS...
Aluminum gets hot...
Do it right or do it the other way...
Want proof, go pick up a piece of ABS on a sunny day, then pick up anything black and aluminum...
Test over...
First off, I'd use aluminum pipe since ABS is comparatively thick walled and that reduces the solar gain... You could probably use PVC end caps on the aluminum... I'd epoxy them on... Next best , I'd use PVC, a bit thinner than ABS, with a less insulative core... Paint both the Aluminum and PVC...
Hello again everyone...
As you can see below, there will be a change of ownership with Earthroamer XV-JP #003...
I reached out to Mike Hiscox for advice...
