$21 press with casefeeder zipper cover

[psychbiker]

I’ve got a dillon 650 and don’t want nosy neighbors to see a big blue piece of machinery. The dillon cover seemed too much at $50 and reviews were bad.

Came across a board post that had a user using a Home Depot bbq smoker cover for $11. I got it and it works but hard to put on because there’s no zipper. LIGHTBULB went off and I came across sew own zippers BUT I don’t have a sewing machine and my sister is back logged. So adhesive zipper hit me while on amazon.....then I remembered seeing those zipper doors at Home Depot for spray booth etc.

I present you a $21 zipper cover. It works great. Only thing I noticed it after it’s on and the seem is cut, you have to cut away the excess on both side of the zipper or it will snag.

Good idea that Dilllon takes a big cover.

Great idea, why didn't I think of that. I may steal your idea. Hold off on the copyright if you would(LOL).

I’m not sure what the big pillow case cost that I use but I think it was free.

I would caution against a cover that doesn’t “breathe” as you will risk condensation and subsequent rust on steel parts. Might as well use a trash bag at that point.

The 18" diamete hole on the bottom likely a good source of fresh air to combat any possible condensation I imagine.
