DO NOT use wall repair putty to fill in holes or repair damaged wood. It is NOT strong enough. --- End quote --- Seeing as how I just advised FOR using this, I'd like to ask what you are referring to when you say "holes". You are COMPLETELY correct in not using it for repairing damaged wood. The "holes" are what I'm wondering about. I've got a CP with some mighty hefty cracks on exhibit in Project Announcements that I had no problems filling, and no problems drilling. --- End quote --- Maybe I should ammend/clarify. Don't use it for control panel repair or large deep holes. It will end up just crumbling. If used on the control panel, when you drill button holes through it, it tends to break off very easily. Note, I am talking about wall patching compound, or whatever it's called. I'm not talking about bondo, which is what everyone recommends we use. --- End quote --- Joint Compound? |

Oh and if you ever decide to do a keyboard hack don't complete the hack and put it away for 8 months then come back and expect to know what your layout was and what you wire labels were for and other stuff you didn't think you needed to write down because you didn't plan on it being 8 months before you did anything with the hack......... |
