I'm making a draft flapper for my Shaver for less than $20

Things are still good here.

One thing I did was got a magnet off back of one of the clips on the refridgerator (don't tell the wife) and put it on the bottom lip of the flapper.

It is held in place with a screw. I got it just right so that it is about an 1/8 inch away from the screw/washers. I even put some washers under it to raise it up. It doesn't make contact.

When I was adjusting it, I found that if it made contact, it would not open at all.

Not sure if I even needed it. I just put in on before I fired up the furnace. Wanted to make sure it wouldn't open with the fire.

I tried extra washers but the flap wasn't opening as far as I wanted. Probably because of the angle I got it on.

That's why I tried the magnet.

Is this flapper idea still working good for you, I want to try it too as opposed to the solenoid flapper. Thanks, RH
