Sorry to rock the boat, but I am with OCCR.* For authenticity's sake, I think the overspray has to go.

I think it would look a lot better without the overspray. But I am also very aware of the time it has taken you to get to this point. And would understand if you didn't get rid of the overspray.
I will say though great job so far! :clap:

I say leave the stencil. It is supposed to have a degree of overspray. To make that part exact would kind of kill the effect imo. When is the last time you saw a stencil on a footlocker or any military property that did NOT have overspray on the stencil?

The Intelligence - Day 45 - All over the place and stuff
had to tap out the latch bracket, clamped it down using a pencil to offset its "shelved" shape  tools  once I began drilling I knew it was over, the QuikSteel failed due to the fact that there was barely any surrounding material. The quicksteel plug was a hairline wider than the drill bit. what to do, what to do?  the only option was to rifle that SOB to 8-32 and do it right! I used progressively larger bits starting at the tap of 4-40, until I chewed it up to the right size, then I tapped it  theres barely anything left of the cylinder (notice on right the cylinder breaking) It managed to have a few threads below the break so I should be able to mount it. The screws are internal so the size difference, if anyone asks, will receive an aluminum baseball bat upside the cranium   time to do some electrical work. decided to extend the leds for power and hdd  snipped the 3x kk tails  tried out my new helper. omg what a life saver   during electrical work A7x cme on so I had to dance around and break *****  back to electrical... I watched a video not too long ago of a guy explaining these joints. his advice was to heat from below then touch it with solder and it will get sucked into the joint, forming a tight bond...  omg he was so right (+REPs for that guy, whoever he was  )both extensions done  dun dun dun, syrillian territory... decided to practice with the syringe weld on stuff  all I can say is thank god I had on gloves, eye protection, long sleeves, and a respirator. why? because when I poured it into the funnel it splashed everywhere! It ran down the can as I held it and it took off the printing, and transferred it to my gloves!! f-me!  ok, so I managed to get a drop in the syringe, grabbed some scraps of clear acrylic  bonded it in the same plane that my pices for the switch plate will go waited a min or two and damn.... that sht wouldnt budge!  got happy and started doing more tests, figuring out how to squeeze out the air, turn over, let go so it doesnt spray, then press gently as you slide the syringe across the joint. This second bond was much cleaner, juice-wise. I was able to break it later tho. I think because it was not clean, and not tight. great thing this "testing" concept, a great thing  taped off the case lid for clear  needed to rise that sucker so I used tissue boxes inserted two boxes taped to the inside of the lid, then taped the whole thing down to a cardboard sheet that would fit in the drying box   kids, dont try this at home (paint warming on a heater)  4 coats clear and into the drying box  more adventures tomr thanks for watching   * This Worklog post was generated using WorklogCreator - Version: 1.0.0.7 * Free Download: http://www.mod2software.com/worklogc...logcreator.zip
