The Intelligence - Day 37
If I am ever gonna get the exhaust vent done, the first step is to close the ring. Prepared it in a hose clamp and mixed some JBweld

globbed it in, and screwed the hose clamp shut

used blue tape so that when the jb dries it sticks to the tape (which can be peeled and sanded easily) instead of the metal clamp

spent about an hour filing and sinding down the inside of this cut

after filing, and 400, and 600
I think both edges are ready for rouge (may the gods of Syrillian be with me in my acrylic endeavours - they have thus far

)

was figuring out how to make perfect circles to mask the fans for painting when I looked around and came across this cap. Its from a baby carrot juice thing from Trader Joe's, it was the perfect size...

but since I didnt have an exacto knife, it wasnt going to work

holesaw to the rescue! stacked some playing cards and clamped them

brrrrrrrrrrrrssshhhhhhssshshshhsttstststshshshhhhs hshshsss!
done

6 perfect masks for me fans

wooo

somewhere between two and four coats of primer I snapped this pic

each prime coat was separated by 1-2 minutes, after 4th coat I waited 10-15 minutes

4 coats red, baby

each coat sep'd by 2-3 minutes (unlike Krylon, 1 min between color coats)(no problem, rusto universal is better coverage and spray at any angle CANNOT be beat

)

same 4 coats diff angle pic

more tomr
