Couple questions:
1) Is cutting the top off the oil bath element part of the finished product, or just something you did to mock up the filter size? I assume it gets clamped down on top of the paper element inside the lid.
2). (This is not a criticism, I think this has a lot of potential ). Air takes the path of least resistance, right? And my crude understanding of the function (without my oil bath in front of me) would have the air coming through that foam floor you made. Wouldn't most of the air get pulled through the foam INSIDE the paper element, thus bypassing it?
If so, the simple solution would be creating a solid bottom for the portion inside the element.
