The Intelligence - Day 19
This pic is for WastedTime, I wanted to show him the painted latches from a week ago, compared to the painted handle brackets that were painted last night. Over time the gloss tends to "sit down" and lose a little of its luster.
well the day I wasnt looking forward to, the start of case sanding
...
ok ok
anyway, set up a little work area by the door, and cranked up the fan. I dont know if I ever mentioned it but this case (tempered alu) seems to be coated with something to protect the metal or something, because when you begin to sand any area of it, it makes a fine white powder (not friendly to 400 grit 3M WOD when sanding dry) I used a 240 orbital to get the wide open areas, then basically spent forever by hand with various grits getting into all the nooks, and dealing with the Evercoat filler areas.
Ok, so I spend all this time and effort sanding the the top half of the case in and out, when I am literally a minute away from being done, wham, I knock off the little alu bracket I made for the dvd drive
I should have reinforced it like I did the hdd and psu brackets but I only considered drive weight and chose not to. Need to fix that...
a couple shots of the case (top half) all sanded (back)
(front)
jbwelded the bracket on again and letting it sit over night like that
Before I start on the other half of the case I am going to make sure nothing needs reinforcement (bonded items) and I may prime this half to see if any of the areas that have Evercoat need any touch-ups both sanding-wise, and body filler-wise
I know it seems like a small update, but work-wise it wasnt
thanks for watching
