I have a few sk Bo9s and was wondering if anyone mounted Troyer Tunnel with Collar on this gourd? What modifications did you make? Looks like it might work.

I have not done this exact mod but I have done several. I would recommend LEXEL white or clear adhesive/sealer.
You can get it at Lowes or amazon. I can't find it at homedepot.

I have used it to modify troyer horizontals to clingers with custom porches, and super gourds adding custom porches. It works beautifully.

Hanah,
I reposted an old thread for you titled Bo 9 S& K gourds ? (Troyer Tunnel) It should be located above this thread.
ImageMite control, heat venting, predator protection and additional feeding during bad weather add up to success.
