Mike, at the time I was a bit overwhelmed with the task of cleaning his workshop so I didn't focus on the homebrew solder sucker too much because of the noise and bulk. I can't really remember how he interfaced it to the nozzle or his filter material, but I guess it worked for what he was using it for. Had he lived longer he might have come up with a version 2 had he found a more appropriate pump. As it was, as a crude prototype so to speak, I felt it best to return it back to being just a vacuum
