Curing:
After applying your final coat, the product should be kept in as clean and dust-free an environment as possible. At 80

Okay, so here's what I got after making the bowl and finding out I DEFINATLY need to use differnt mixing bowls for the 2nd layer....

I beleive that by mixing using the same bowl and everything for some reasy created a LOT of bubbles that aren't really visible in these pictures, but they're there if you look real close.  The BIGGEST problems I ran into are:
1.  my jig sawed thingy looks like poop in my opinion.  I think it will look better when routed from below...I didn't route the underside so cutting through with the jigsaw wasn't easy or very clean.  I'll rout that so almost all I have to jig through is the epoxy clear coat stuff and a very thin layer of wood.

2.  My swither do-dad is too short to make it up over the epoxy so I need to extend that somehow...wich leads me to my next question....  How can I make that thing longer?  in case you don't know what I'm talking about...it's a thing piece of metal that should stick above the CP a little bit and allow you to switch the 4/8 way restrictor plate.   I need a metal extender.  the thing in the 3rd pic.

sorry.  Hoping this bump can get me some more views....earlier in the day...on a Friday.

One of the things that has always amazed me about the BYOAC community is how wide a variety of smart people there are and no matter WHAT your question...someone will have an answer or idea or SOMETHING for you.  I know we won't let me down this time and that's the reason for the bump. 

thx

2. If there is room between the dodad and the joystick housing, simply get the right length of aluminum flat bar and attach it to the dodad by drilling a couple holes and using a couple screws/nuts.

DOH!  it's SO simple and obvious....GEEZ!  i'm a doofus!  I'm thinking about trying to wrap something around that post or all these complicated measures of welding something to the top of it...

Sometimes the most simple solutions escape me....and it's a little embarassing.

thanks
