[sdiy] Wasp fixed, was - Trying to understand wasp CMOS

[anthony]

You know I've taken to JB Welding holes in project cases that I want to reuse for something else. Although I guess doing such with a Wasp might not be as practicable. But usually if you put a piece of tape over the front and then put the JB Weld in the back of the hole, you only need minimal sanding and maybe some glazing compound. But I dunno, is the Wasp textured plastic? That'd be a bitch. Maybe putting a panel with expansions is a much better idea.

Still JB Weld is fun. It's fun to use the case from something else - something familiar but then filling up certain parts with JB Weld and putting a synth/fx circuit in it. People say, "Hey was that a???" And you reply "Yes it was." I'm also a big fan of Krylon wet-sandable primer (and paint) and Sears spray polyurethane enamel. The poly is awesome,, but the color slection leaves a lot to be desired. 

I also have a big battery, a big jar, some silver nitrate and an old silver spoon. I like to silver plate weird things. I wish I had the stuff to plate other metals...

rambling on...

  Thanks for everyone's help.  This deluxe now appears to be working fine.

  I have a lot of cosmetic work to do on it still, and probably some I/O expansion - it had a rough hole messily drilled in its rear panel, so rather than just 'patch' it with a plain sheet, ill put a proper plate in with some additional options.

  Sanding and re-sealing its woodwork tomorrow i think.

  Cheers again, 

  Julian
