Annanymous: Ahhh... Very clever! I may have to try that out if I forget to keep the packaging when installing my LED's!
Nessy: Yeah, I kind forgot I had the curing box, but it's holding all of my stuff right now in my closet so I would have a HUGE mess in my TINY room and my parents would not be too thrilled if I couldn't even get to my bed because I had pepped pieces all over my floor.
Aero: Thanks for your support!
So I've gotten more done today. Not as much as I had planned, but hey, it's better than not getting anything done at all.
Yesterday, I couldn't do ANYTHING because I had an appointment with my Optometrist.
If you guys don't know what that is, an Optometrist in an Eye Doctor. I had a check-up and my eyes had to be dilated. Freakin' sucks cuz I forgot I had the appointment and I had a whole schedule planned for cosplay production and I couldn't even stand in the sun cuz my eyes were too messed up.
Here's my half-way dilated eyes.
When they were fully dilated, I looked like Chancellor Adam Sutler from the film V for Vendetta.
Anyway, on to the progress! haha
I got the second coat of resin on the combat knife and I got one layer of resin on the AR. I added extra hardener (about three more drops) and it still didn't cure as fast as I wanted it to so both the combat knife and the AR is sitting in the laundry room. It's warm and no one goes in there so it should be safe for the night and then I'l air it out tomorrow before I get to class.
Next up, I got more bondo applied to the shin. I'm using my good ol' painters tape trick and it's working perfectly.
As for sanding, I have a mix of good news and bad news.
Good News: I found the battery and charger for the hand sander.
Bad News: The battery isn't charging because the stupid shed has issues about retaining moisture and the dampness in the shed corrupted the battery.
So until I (or my dad) buys a new battery, I'll be hand sanding. *cries*
I'll hopefully have more for you guys and gals later on this week. Got a full college schedule this week.
Till then!
Stay Frosty, 405thers!
