JeremyN Posted December 24, 2012 Report Posted December 24, 2012 Ok so here's today's progress thus far. Got the rest sanded down and was pleased with it. Much much better on the seam there between the bezel and the tablet. I'm holding the tablet with my finger on the far side that's why it looks closer there and not on the other side. But it's very close so I'm happy with it. So then I was trying to decide what I wanted to do with it to give it a kind of grippy back and not put suede or something in there. PLASTIDIP to the rescue! Ready to spray Now after that I had a bit of a set back. I tried to take a picture of it but it didn't come out. It's cold and rainy here in Sac today. So as I've said before I pretty much only have my covered side of the house to work in. SO since it was cold I used a shop light to speed up the curing process on the plastidip. Well I must have left it on there too long cause the epoxy let go a bit and the spot where the back panel meets the dock. But after bringing it in and working on it a bit, and then the epoxy cooling, it has set again and is solid again. There isn't much of a line there at all anymore. I thought about re spraying it, but then looked and the front frame is going to cover it and it won't be seen at all. So I'm just going to let it be. The tablet sits on there nicely and doesn't move around like before when it was just the filler etc. So I'm happy with it thus far. if it did that under the shop light then it would most defeantly do it once installed in the car in the summer valley heat. 2 12" Jeff Vue Customs 1 set MB Quart FSB 216 in doors1 American Bass 100.1 on sub1 Hertz EP2 on doorsJVC deck IPOD controlStock 105 amp alt DD-1big 3new build in Chevy caviler http://www.stevemead...chevy-cavalier/last set up in the ZX2 http://www.stevemead...-current-build/old build log http://www.stevemead...-1998-ford-zx2/ Gold is the money of kings, silver is the money of gentlemen, debt is the money of slaves.

scooter99 Posted December 24, 2012 Author Report Posted December 24, 2012 I honestly think it'll be fine. When I picked it up I had to put it down cause it was so hot. I'm going to put some more epoxy in some spots too. It should be fine. Debating on whether to paint the dash black or cover it in carbon fiber vinyl. I want to swap the dash color anyway to black and charcoal. So maybe this is the time to do it. What do you guys think? Facebook Page: S99Creations 2006 F250 Lariat Build

04murdalanche Posted December 25, 2012 Report Posted December 25, 2012 Sheeit, I freakin love the tablet install.. How thick is the filler though? I'd be worried about it cracking a lil bit lol
scooter99 Posted December 25, 2012 Author Report Posted December 25, 2012 It's not too bad. Only on the sides is it pretty thick. We'll see if it cracks or not. Most of it is filled with epoxy, about half of the side, then the filler over that. I'm guessing it'll be ok. But I'll keep my eye on it. I have a feeling, it's not going to stay like this for very long, I really want to do a fold out design that I can enclose the tablet in. So I don't know if I'll be able to do that anytime soon or not. I'll be sticking with this for a while. Facebook Page: S99Creations 2006 F250 Lariat Build
