Flush mount trackball
(1/5) > >>
GameOver:
I'm re-doing my CP to 'fix' some things.  One thing I've changed is this time around I'd like to flush mount my trackball.  When I apply the CPO to the new CP, do I need to do anything special to the trackball mount part that is recessed to make sure the CPO will stick to it?  Sand it, paint it, put adhesive on it?

Hoopz:
I did not do anything special to my trackball mounting plate and have not had any problems with my CPO.
urbecrisch:
Are you using plexi over the CPO or is the CPO adhesive?
GameOver:
Thanks HooPZ.

urbecrisch -

No plexi, CPO is adhesive.

I do not see any auto body filler applied to the trackball mount. The trackball seams will show through the overlay if this is not done. Plus, the pebble grain finish of the mount will also show through.

IMO the trackball mount needs to be countersunk at least +1/16" more than needed so the body putty smooths over not only the mounting plate seams but the uneven mounting plate face as well.
