reedal Posted January 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 All good. Just had coincidentally been planning my toolbox system/test bench today and ran across those. Easier to make a round hole than a square one and most mount from the front with a lip to keep the amount of finish work down nonexistant. Post up the finished piece when you get there. Will do might do it this weekend. We'll see. And I agree wholeheartedly, cutting circle holes is definitely easier than squares.

reedal Posted January 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 Alright. I haven't done the USB port yet, but here's the console piece that the bezel will go into and how it will look (sorta) My issue, as you will see and I'm sure most will feel the same way, is that the bezel is kind of thick and looks awkward like that. To me. So I want to flush mount it, but I'm unsure of how to do that. I'm thinking I may have to buy the MDF bezel and do some glassing. But before I make any decisions, I wanted to pick at the great brains of this community. So, any thoughts or ideas you have, I am nothing but ears.... Or eyes rather...

Broke_Audio_Addict Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 Tape off the bezel and use some body filler to make a nice tight transition to the bezel. Make sure you sand the dash piece very well first so it will adhere. That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.

Rough it up with some 40grit, or would that be too harsh do you think?

Broke_Audio_Addict Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 Nothing is to harsh since you'll be covering it all anyways and the deeper the scratches the better it will adhere. They make special fillers meant for bonding to plastic. I'd use 80 grit personally.

Broke_Audio_Addict Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 You can also cheat to get a profile by taking an old gift card and cutting the edge to the profile you'd like and using it as a spreader, It'll cut down on lots of sanding time. No problem. That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.

Broke_Audio_Addict Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 What do you mean by profile? The contour of the edge you want to create around the bezel, like a beveled edge or a rounded one.
