Have you ever thought about covering your CP with plexi? It's really easy and IMO completes the CP. Also, it makes for easy cleaning ;D |
| GameOver:
AUTOBODY FILLER? Really? Are you kidding? Is that because the plate is metal and abf would be required so it would stick to the metal? Wood filler wouldn't work? urbercrisch - I'll check out covering with plexi. I agree those look very nice and help protect the cpo. I'll look into it. |

Yes, Body putty. Wood putty tends to be harder to use and is harder to sand. There's no issues with your control panel overlay sticking to the mounting plate, wood, body filler, wood putty. The real issue is you want to have a smooth finish so there's no evidence of a trackball mounting plate. If you did not cover the plate with anything all of the plates imperfections would be quite obvious through the overlay. I have completed a DIY tutorial w/pics on this subject. I will e-mail it to you tonight after I get home from the day job. Jack |

I just finished converting a Robotron panel that had been badly converted to a Kid Nikky Panel and had been something else in between. I filled all the holes with a bondo clone called Formula 27 and it worked amazingly. I was able to sand things down to where it was like a brand new panel then drill holes that were partly thru wood and partly thru bondo without a hitch. The stuff seemed to sand and drill just like wood (But boy did it stink :P ) Mike |
