Oh-kee-doe-kee...Hows about we talk about preparing (CAing and sanding) the carbon fiber chassis plates?
I do this:
1. sand it with 350 wet/dry sand paper. (trying to kind of cup it in my hand to give the edges a rounded look)
2. follow up with some 400 wet/dry sand paper, while under running water.
3. clean it up to get anything the running water didn't carry away.
4. use thin CA put a drop on one side of the chassis and let it roll down and around the chassis until it stops. And do this until I've gotten back to where I started.
Thats about it. I think I might try T. Hodges kicker idea. Cause I hate waiting for that stuff to dry.
***Couple things to note to anyone who doesn't already know***
-Do this in a well ventilated area
-Try to make sure you wipe down the chassis BEFORE you start with the CA. The CA fumes make any finger prints on the chassis appear.
-Stay away from the Q-tips if possible. They let off visible smoke when wet with CA.
....oh, and the ever present warning...
Don't glue your hands to the chassis!

While attempting to recover the undamaged portion of thier doomed cargo shipment, company official were attacked by a pack of wild wolves. Strangely enough, the wolves had tatoos on them saying "Get it right the first time" and "2 weeks" on them!?!

Ah yes...The extended forecast calls for 40-50% chance of rain all this weekend.
