Psychotech? Hard time? Shoot. The dude won't have a hard time. Guarantee it.  Did you read his other PA?

Lew!

How did you know?

Actually, it was my 15th birthday as I was working at the family factory mixing cocaine when my father promised to buy me a real nice plane (as long as I'd fly a couple of packages a month..) for my birthday :) Well.. So, I went to speak to Hans (our family mechanic at the time) about ...

:=)

No fear of power tools, ..but still no need for them either :) Just being an..

All the best with your new project ;)

Kaytrim:

It STICKS!

I've already done that on Bombjack, about two months ago.. Sticks nicely, actually. The machine has been used and abused quite a lot. And the molding stays in place. (have to say that in the eighties I saw quite a few times the machine sides & moldings repaired with contact glue)

You'll just need to leave the edge "kinda rough" and use a double helping of contact glue on the MDF side: IE. One layer on the MDF, one layer on the "molding" and after a couple of minutes yet another layer on the MDF.. And after that? Patience, lots of patience. If it says "wait 15-40 minutes", it means wait 45 minutes :)

Works like a charm. If in doubt, you're welcome to test it here. Just phone me in advance ;)

You mean the stuff that is used for laminate?  I have to agree that is some strong stuff.  I just didn't think that it would work so well with the rubber T-molding.

Do you want to pay for my plane tickets?  I live in the states. ;D

psychotech:
Kaytrim: Let's do it the other way around; you pay for my tickets (Finland-USA-Finland :) ) and I'll install the molding on your next project for free ..I'll even buy the contact glue myself so it'll be super cheap for you ;)

Still, just a quick update on the glued on (T) molding. I'll update the actual Bombjack thread with a load of pictures later today (tonight here..).

The molding was installed about two months ago and holds prrrrrfect ;) Have been playing pinball quite a lot these days..



So, no need for a router really :(

Later,

psychotech.
