Title: Enclosure painting tip
Post by: stringsthings on June 28, 2018, 05:15:47 PM
Next time you're at the hardware store, pick up some 6-32 machine screws in your favorite length.
( the ones in the pic are 1" )  They make great supports for painting.  You can also screw your enclosure
to a piece of wood for sanding.

On an unrelated note, the paint above is krylon colormaster.  I happened to be near lowe's and they don't carry
the rustoleum type that I usually use.  This paint was awful.  Took way too many coats to cover and it ran in several places.
I don't like the color anyways, so I'll be stripping it and using rustoleum ( 2x paint+primer ).  A much better paint which builds
quickly.

... and the obligatory curious cat pic:

Nice. I use just plan ol tin cans like vegetables come in. For 125b you have to squeeze the top in and 1590a and 1590b will sit right on top. Works great for drying enviro or parks glaze.
