Nice tutorial! Thanks! You threw me at first with "deckle". In USA we say "DEE-kal"

[@pougnetpedals]

I have been told...haha

[@vinnui]

Excellent guide, thank you!

[@pougnetpedals]

No problem! Glad you found it helpful!

[@ElGuacamoleTV]

[@pougnetpedals]

Really love your channel’s content! I’ve repaired a couple pedals before and have become interested in building pedals since discovering that some pedal PCBs are available. I’m particularly interested in building a JPTR FX Kaleidoscope from the PCB that’s available on their site under “Kits”. It’s a really awesome pedal design, and I’d love to hear your thoughts on it! Id love to see you build one of their pedals while they have their older through hole PCBs available!

[@pougnetpedals]

I will have to take a look!

A better way to line the holes up for drilling pedal enclosure is to centre punch holes using the template

[@pougnetpedals]

Yep. I do that now

[@darrenjenkin1281]

It stop a small drill bit from skating across the top of your enclosure when drilling

Great video and tutorials. I tried that Rustoleum clear gloss 2x and the smell is pretty bad and remains on the pedal days after. Have you tried any other clear gloss or resin that may be better in that regard?

[@pougnetpedals]

I haven't. I have always used the rustoleum. Light coats, from a distance. I agree that it needs a day or two to "air out" though

[@dingalarm]

Thanks. Useful video ! What speed should be used for the drill press ?

[@pougnetpedals]

Mine is just a one speed drill press.

I literally was Googling dekle trying to figure out WTF you were talking about until I realized you mean decal.
