Re: Detailing of the firewall (Gilles - Legacy Post)

Hi Ed,
These are metal drill bits that I find at specialized dealers.
Here, in France, I find it that goes from 0.3mm to 1.2mm for the small black box and from 1.3mm to 2.5mm for the large one. The blue box goes from 0.3mm to 1.6mm.

Re: Transparent UV resin: Your feedback.

Thank you very much to both of you for these detailed answers.

I think that I will not take any risks and settle for transparent two-component resin (I retain the Aluminite brand).
My use will mainly be on the meter windows and covering some decals like the one in the center of the steering wheel.

Transparent UV resin: Your feedback.

Hi guys,
I hear a lot about these transparent resins to be used with a small UV lamp and which are often used in nail polishing.
Indeed, they seem attractive due to their easy implementation -no mixing to do- and their fast drying.
So I did some research to find out more and some publications ...
