Metal work seems to be a real science, but i, like you, enjoy trying to learn some of the tricks. My kit came with one of those slapping spoons, but I hadn't really tried it.
It is definitely counter-intuitive. I like cause and effect stuff, and this seems like a good example of that. Interesting to try to figure out how what you do in one spot impacts the metal in another.
On the door and the door handle where you say you have a bit of a gap put a carbon washer or or a rubber seal around it or use a sill sort of gasket make a rubber to go underneath the handle is there should be some kind of rubber flat underneath
If you got a old tile too old to form a bicycle or a mountain bike tube you can cut that up and use the handle music for a template to market around in you could use that as
Maybe. Half of the reason for this adventure is to learn how to do stuff. If I just gob some filter on there and sand it smooth, where's the learning in that?
Hi, Brendon. I used 80-grit on the da sander. If I did anything by hand, I used 100-grit because that's what I had. 80-grit is what my paint manufacturer recommends for prepping for the epoxy primer.
Great work Chris.. Enjoy!
Thanks!

That's a good idea. It's just a paper gasket from the factory, but the rubber would expand into any gaps. Thanks, Andy!

wow you sure like making extra work for yr self,chris the doors looked fine a bit filler here and there and a sand would have been done

lol
that's a great attitude, it's like doing an apprenticeship, learn how to do it properly then on the 'next one' learn how to do it the short cut way!!
Thanks! I just keep saying that to myself and it's keeps me sane!
Hi there Chris, what grit sand paper did you use?

great job and informative. I want to pluck up the courage and start
You should try something. Once you get started, it's kind of hard to stop!
