I used it because I had some :D
To be fair to it ,it's not that bad , you just apply it in one go and don't play with it . After something like 5 mins or so , you can pair it back with your chisel :)
Plus it does not stink like the other stuff :confused:

It Could still be the same stuff because I did not sand down till the next day !
I have notice that getting the mix and how long you mix these 2 part fillers alters how they work !
In other words they are a bitch to use :thumbs:
 
sandpaper and primer came of ebay on Friday :clap:

Much cheaper buying from ebay then the local shop :confused:
Did the mist coat and hair dryer method and no lifting of grain !:thumbs:

What is the mist coat and hair dryer method pls ?

Yep ! I have not really done any paint spraying before and I was told ,if you do a light coat of paint and then a blast with the hair dryer and so one ,this will stop the paint from runs because it is so easy to put too much on in one go ,and I am no professional !!
I have used 3 cans of 500ml primer ,lost count of how many coats I have put on ,but it does look good now :)
Black paint has arrived today :clap: So hopefully I will start spraying the stain black paint tomorrow after work if the weather is good :rolleyes:
In the mean time I have fitted a light mod ( ship ) in Star Trek, fitted a shaker motor and Benjamin has installed some new music on it as well :hmm: :)
 
Have you thought about using acrylic paint and a very good roller? I did this on my Royal Guard, looked great, and cheaper!!
Those 500ml spray cans are expensive for very little coverage.

I think I had to go down the spraying route because I need a flatter finish to fit the decals too .
6 can of primer cost £20 and £26 for satin black just small change compair to how much I have spend so far and more needs to be spent :rolleyes:
 
When I received the decals they where all nicely packed in a round tube :thumbs:
So to get them nice and flat I did this image.jpg

Had this laying down under the pins to get all the wrinkles out and it worked :thumbs:
 
It would seem by denomination of parts remaining that mine has this arrangement
Is it a bodge or factory and most importantly will it matter??

The playfield was an absolute bugger to get out but I think that's because the brackets on the back of the playfield were really bent.

Earth strip goes to both of the bolts !
But the thing is as soon as you lift the playfield it snaps the earth strips :hmm:

Why not try crimping or soldering one of these on Carl?uploads.tapatalk_cdn.com_20160508_a05c7fd83be4df142997a45aa304c2a3.jpg

The corners of the back of the playfield cuts the earth strips between the 2 bolts .so using these you will not be able to lower the playfield .
Let me think ......unless you do away with using the earth strips all together and bolt a earth wire direct to the under side of the playfield :thumbs:

With the playfield down the brackets are earth ,with the playfield up the brackets are not earthed !
Or am I looking at it the wrong way round so it will be opposite :hmm:​
 
Hmmm ok. Well they weren't earthed before!! Dunno what to do really. I haven't got enough braid to reach.

And looks like I need 2 more of those playfield pivot things
