I'm going to be building a block based on the "coper cap" design. I have some copper sheet laying around. Whats better 1/4" or 1/8" for the base?

You might try searching for it, but I think thicker is better. Depends on what kind of flow you are planning also I'd guess.

I would also imagine that the 1/8" would be the best performer.

Thanks guys, they only cost me $4 to make so I made one of each. With slighty different designs as far as turbulance goes. I'll just try em both and compare.
