Ya you would think i made an error in the title (i didn’t) but most of use that own mechs have at some stage done a couple of mods to change the way they look or work . Here is one I did today on a mech squonker that was giving me the irrites.
It is the Vulcan dual 18650 squonker
Before the bar in the middle made it a pita to squonk it was a pinch not a press and i really didn’t like it the way it was.
Yes, I am just having trouble finding the time to make a version 5. I will get there when the government looks at my pedition so the day has 36 hours and i can fit more stuff in.
Sweet look to it now. How in the hell did you manage to squonk it with that bar in the middle? Don’t know what you used to finish up the end results but it looks factory. Have few tools any more, what I do have are more for working with wood, and putting up molding around our pool. Don’t have a grinder or any kind of belt sander, files…all kinds of files, wood working a few metal files, computer files a load of computer files lol. Great job mate, I’m new here and from across the pond in the US. Always like it when a project just works!
Found a nifty little cheap trick to remove cerakote or paint with no damage to the original mod.
You will need
A large bag of salt
An air compressor
A cheap Chinese sandblaster
Wear some glasses the spray back will hurt your eyes (even with glasses I had a bit of salt find its way to my eye ouch!!!)
The cheap Chinese sandblaster cost me about $15 aud on ebay
You will need a heap of table salt - why salt you ask well it disintegrates on impact and won’t damage the underlying metal (tested on brass and copper) this will reduce the amount of buffing you will have to do for the final finish. (I won’t show the final finish until I have finished it I ran out of salt )
This is an old mech I had that I don’t use at all and never really liked the finish on it - this is the side I didn’t do yet (captain obvious yes I know)
My pants would still be on fire if I said I wasn’t nervous doing this but I love the end result. Still needs a little polishing I ran out of the polishing compound.
