| My hole is rough as a badgers arse! |

| JoyMonkey:
err... yeah. Here's the problem: I've got my aluminium control panels cut to suit my layout, but the hole that was cut for the joystick is way too rough around the edges (check out the blurry dusty photo). How do I cover this up? Getting plexi or lexan cut to cover the entire panel and leave nice smooth holes from the joystick and buttons would be great, but way too tricky and expensive right now. Can I get somehthing that will just cover the rim of the hole? I've run out of ideas again. JoyM. |

If you have a rotary tool (and why wouldn't you? You're a man, right?) use a grinding wheel to smooth the inside down. Failing that, some sandpaper will do the same, or use a file. |

What you might look for is something like a rubber seal, many have a lip, which would cover that area quite nicely... Problem is, finding one the perfect size ;) |
| AlanS17:
I would recommend a cutting tool (Dremel) with a grinding bit. A tool file would probably work as well, but you would be wise to use one with a rounded back. Sand paper won't fix it. Your best bet is to use a Dremel. Hopefully you have one already because the grinding bits are probably only $2 or $3. A good tool file might run $10. |
