I pushed the chore boy all the way down, resting on top of the screen all the way at the bottom. I read you took out the screen, but figured I'd leave mine in so fine dmt particles wouldn't fall trough. I'm using a chore brand with a bit thicker wires probably. I also didnt use a lot of chore. Maybe less than 1 cm thick. But never tried it without the screen yet, might hold everything just as well. Next time.. I guess there probably will be a next time some time from now.
