I'm trying to make a bezel for an 8" screen in my Acura and what I want to do is take the existing mounting kit and cut it up into a frame, then use the bond glass to make the shape I want for the screen and head unit. I just need to know if they will stay together properly.

Will Bondo Glass hold to Plastic?
new posts
I used some gorilla Glue to tac it into place, then I used bondo... It looks great and it holds it in place, no worries...
I used glass bondo and seems to be holding up very well. Have had it for maybe 6 months to a year and have had no cracking problems. I also used a thin coat of regular bondo over the glad to smooth it out, this way you do not see where the bondo meets up with the plastic.
Personally I wouldn't do it unless you are going to cover the piece. You can sand it down really good with a low grit paper to get it to hold the best but still.....it will probably let loose.
Fiberglass is known to not bond to most plastics. This is why a lot of people lay down plastic wrap to cover their workspace. Your dash is most likely made of ABS or PP plastic, which will not form the chemical bond necessary. as xtremekustomz said, "You can sand it down really good with a low grit paper to get it to hold the best but still.....it will probably let loose" this will allow the bondo glass to form a mechanical bond, but will probably come loose in the end. The dash kit you got was probably ABS plastic. The best thing to bond to abs is abs, you can get sheets of them here:
or some other materials stores near you.
You can create a basic mold out of thin wood (naked, or wrapped in foil), or similar, then place the abs sheet over the mold and into the oven at 140C - 170C (recommend 160C) degrees (284F - 338F, recommended 320F you will want to watch it the whole time) until it takes it's shape. (heat forming):
You may be able to heat it up and form by gloved hand, but this is less specific.
Info from:
This will give you a much stronger, more OEM looking dash piece. If it's made of PP, then you can also get PP sheets, but I'm unsure of the heat specs on PP.
This is an option to pursue. Some have tried the ABS sludge technique which involves dissolving ABS pellets or shavings in solvent (usually acetone) and then pouring it into the mold, once the acetone evaporates, the abs will be hard again.
Hopefully this helps.2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser TE

Favorite thread EVER!
I just realized something from the months back when i built a a few fiberglass enclosures. To make bondo a hell of alot stonger instead of putting the bondo harder in the bondo mix a little fiberglass resin in with it mix it real good and then add a few drops of resin harder. when its dry its hard as a rock.

At first glance, the pallet garden idea seems great. It is easy on top of simple, with convenient spacing and rows, right? We thought so last spring and were more than a little disappointed by fall! It just didn't pan out the way we had hoped. After dumping out dirt and restructuring the garden this week, we felt the need to advise other gardeners looking for new methods against using this one!
Here is what we found out:
- Wooden pallets are susceptible to vermin and insects infestations.
- Soil compaction leads to smaller crops and difficult tending.
- If a pallet has gone across a border, they require fumigation – which is often performed with methyl bromide, a highly toxic, ozone-depleting chemical. Scary!
- Shipping pallets contain e. coli and Listeria, and are prone to mold growth when left out in the elements. Not ideal for a gardening in Oregon.
- Contamination from chemicals used to treat the wooden pallets can leach out onto whatever is placed on them or into the air. Which can also compromise soil quality!
- Wood pallets made with "engineered wood" components contain urea formaldehyde – a known carcinogen.
We are all about using recycling materials where possible, but we now strongly advise against using pallets in the garden, as tempting as it may be! It looks nice, but is not worth the risk or time spent on a system that can only lead to small crops.
So I am including a short list of articles found online – both pros and cons – to let you make your own informed choice about whether or not you'll use pallets in your garden.
Are pallets safe to reuse?
Don't reuse wood pallets.
Recycling wood pallets and packaging.
What are your thoughts on reusing pallets in the garden or as furniture? Have you done it already? And will you do it again?

The tradition of portrait miniature painting in America, like that of full-size portraiture, was adapted from European models, particularly from English painting of the Rococo period. Ultimately, portrait miniatures evolved from two sources: illuminated manuscripts of the Middle Ages and portrait medals from classical antiquity as revived during the Italian Renaissance. With various changes in size, shape, and function over time, the first self-contained miniature portraits were made in France and England during the fifteenth century. In the next century, Hans Holbein (50.69.2) and Nicholas Hilliard (35.89.4) conceived of portraiture in the small, oval format that became prototypical for English and American miniatures. These dainty pieces were mounted in gold lockets, brooches, and bracelets, as such converging with traditions of jewelry and taking on connotations as mementos with exquisite and intimate meaning. Patronage for miniatures extended beyond the court to include the political and merchant elite, eager to own and wear such stunning small portraits of loved ones.
The single most innovative advance in the art of portrait miniature painting was made by a Venetian miniaturist, Rosalba Carriera (2002.22), who applied a watercolor technique to the decoration of ivory snuffboxes. The luminosity of ivory enhances skin tones and enables the painter to render the sheen of hair and fabrics in transparent watercolor applied in delicate strokes or fine stipples. The earliest known American miniatures, such as Mrs. Jacob Motte (1997.340) by Jeremiah Theus, were soberly painted, well-crafted portraits. The tradition continued in the hands of America's most talented oil painters, who offered miniatures as reduced versions of their large portraits. In Boston, John Singleton Copley mastered this difficult medium. His portrait of Jeremiah Lee (39.174) matches his full-length portrait of this grandee from Marblehead, Massachusetts.
In Philadelphia, the brothers Charles Willson Peale and James Peale executed delicate and subtle portraits for their clients (83.2.122; 31.118), while the Charleston elite flocked to Henry Benbridge for his fine works (26.286). In New York, the Irish painter John Ramage held sway, painting many political figures including the first president, George Washington (24.109.93).
Toward the end of the eighteenth century, scores of miniaturists from Great Britain, France, and Italy came to America to paint the citizens of the new republic. British artists brought with them an enlarged, more luminous miniature, while those from the Continent imported their precise, decorative style. These artists left a lasting impression on the American marketplace for miniatures, which boomed in the coming century.

Shelter so if it's raining or snowing or if it's really hot you have a spot to not get wet get cold or get really really hot. Also food and water because that's what keeps you alive and if you don't eat you will starve and if you don't drink you will get really really thirsty. Family to because they tot you how to walk and talk and they buy you you'r food and drinks. And the last one is a bedroom because then you don't have to sleep outside, under a bridge,trees and on a bench so if you have a bedroom there is a bed to sleep on. And that's what home means to me.

How to Freeze Your Credit
J Thoendell stashed this in Personal Finance
Source: http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/049...
Also known as a security freeze, this tool lets you restrict access to your credit report, which in turn makes it more difficult for identity thieves to open new accounts in your name. That's because most creditors need to see your credit report before they approve a new account. If they can't see your file, they may not extend the credit.
Does a credit freeze affect my credit score?No. A credit freeze does not affect your credit score.
A credit freeze also does not:
- prevent you from getting your free annual credit report
- keep you from opening a new account, applying for a job, renting an apartment, or buying insurance. But if you're doing any of these, you'll need to lift the freeze temporarily, either for a specific time or for a specific party, say, a potential landlord or employer. The cost and lead times to lift a freeze vary, so it's best to check with the credit reporting company in advance.
- prevent a thief from making charges to your existing accounts. You still need to monitor all bank, credit card and insurance statements for fraudulent transactions.
Stashed in: Personal Finance, Credit
To save this post, select a stash from drop-down menu or type in a new one:
I'm happy to hear that issuing a credit freeze does not affect my credit score.

I really like the 55 pair for this week Boney......!
Thank you Starr.....!!
Midday draw for 14-Mar-2011
Hey Alan,
I'm loving your picks - hope that 526 comes thru this week for both you and Boney!!!
While I'm not so big on playing triples, I think we may see one this week.
First, Calabs' earlier rundown showed all triples (which never happens) and now this:
888 in midday's TTT. Play them all but my best picks would be 000, 111, 888 and 444.
If it doesn't come to NJ, it'll probably go to NY. Let's see what happens!
Also looking for a series # to show this week:
Best picks: 089, 234, 567 and 435
Good luck to all
Triples are really hard to predict. I've only been playing long enough to see about 5 or 6 of them, but of those there were 2 sets of tiples that came within a few draws of eachother. Ive only bet on them once - but then I went on a trip to PA (and bought 901, 904 box for the week) and the 999 came out, followed by the 000 a couple days after getting back. Shoulda seen that coming lol.
I' got 526 for midday last night, and 579, just had a wierd feeling on it after my friend got 7595 for pick 4.
I'm probably gonna play 556/566 scattered this week, along with 955.
I missed the 556 a while ago, and don't wanna miss it again, but there are so many other doubles that look good for this week.

The temperature on site has really heated up. We've had very little rain since December, so everything is beginning to look dry and desolate. While clearing individual villa envelopes, removing as little trees as possible keeps the shade over our heads and encourages the scars of construction to heal quicker.
For lunch, we've had to find some shade too. Using the tress we chopped on site, local coconut rope and thatch, we've built a rather organic site office, accommodation and security hut. Many of the guys have been living in these kinds of structures their entire lives so had the skills and knowledge for the fastest erection yet.
Its great putting local resources and knowledge into practise. Simple, low cost techniques that have stood the test of time. They remain at a more comfortable indoor temperature which can easily be repaired or removed. Feeding back into the natural cycles of growth and decay.
But as Western lifestyles and architecture leak into Sri Lanka, less and less of these structures are being built. Concrete homes are seen as a step up the social class system. However making the population more dependent on a corporation that clogs up the roads with large, slow polluting trucks moving sand and concrete around the country.
Perhaps I am a hypocrite as I actually hitched a ride in one of these when I flew home at Christmas. A great way to see the country if your not in a rush. The size advantage necessary when driving on these roads. Nonetheless we still had to succumb to a number of 'Police Officers' top pocket penalties for nothing that I could see worthy.
Sampath, the driver, was such a nice bloke. We could hardly communicate, but he stopped at many little tea houses where he insisted on paying. It took us 8 hours to reach his depot. As darkness fell I helped him unload his sand. His boss realising there was a white fella in the yard, invited me into his home and forced his embarrassed 14 year old son to translate. He had a 22 year old sister at University in Singapore who would make an excellent wife. I can only laugh looking back at this bizarre start to my Christmas holidays.

Behind the Scenes at a WQXR Live Broadcast
Whether it's outside of the Carnegie Hall recording studio or in the control room of the Greene Space, I find what happens behind the scenes of a live broadcast can be just as thrilling as what goes out over the airwaves or video Webcast.
So, for 48 hours I followed the people — the WQXR producers, engineers, Greene Space staff, on-air host and the musicians — involved with our recent live broadcast of the chamber ensemble The Knights from the Greene Space.
I'm always amazed at the controlled chaos (how does everyone stay so calm?) that happens in the days or hours before a live broadcast. This one was especially hectic as we flipped the venue's layout to accommodate the more than 40 musicians in The Knights — the largest ensemble we've ever had in the Greene Space.
Here's a look behind the scenes at a WQXR live broadcast:

club left him out of tomorrow's UEFA Super Cup match against Barcelona.
Manager Andre Villas-Boas wants Pereira as a replacement for Yury Zhirkov, who was sold to Anzhi Makhachkala earlier this month.
Chelsea have already tabled a £16.6million bid for the Uruguay international, which has been rejected, but they are confident a deal will be agreed.
Porto take on Barcelona in Monaco tomorrow night for the trophy which is always played between the Europa League winners and Champions League winners of the previous campaign.
Pereira is understood to have told Porto that he wants to move to Stamford Bridge and has significantly not been named in the squad to play in the match.
The 25-year-old will not come cheap - he has a £26m release clause in his contract - and
Villas-Boas wants him to provide competition for Ashley Cole at left-back as well as an option to play left midfield.
It means the future of Florent Malouda is in question once again having been offered to Italian clubs earlier in the summer and Juventus are being linked with a £5m bid.
Meanwhile, Chelsea's new £24.5m signing Juan Mata has revealed he joined the Blues to help Villas-Boas turn them back into great entertainers.
The Spain international said: "He [Villas-Boas] said he wanted Chelsea this season to play more attacking football and that I would be a big part of that."Reuse content

So you just got a promotion? First of all, congratulations! Celebrations are in order before you focus in on the increased responsibilities of your change in position. But smooth transitions can be elusive, especially if you're now in the role of a leader or manager over people that were recently your peers. And after the initial excitement that comes with a long-anticipated structural move up the ladder subsides, the next steps can be hazy.
No worries though, I've got a guide to help you tie up the loose ends from your old position, build relationships and the new gig and maintain the work ethic that earned you the upgrade to begin with. And if earning a promotion is on your short-term to-do list, rest assured: I included tips for you too. Onward and upward, indeed.
1) Close the old chapter before starting anew
Just because you've earned the new gig, don't leave stones from your previous position unturned. If you were working on a project, finish it out. Know who your replacement will be? Use the transition period as time to train the newbie: Show them first-hand what it takes during a day-in-the-life of your former position.
2) Go from "bud to boss" like a pro
You may have been able to joke around more when you were a peer of your co-workers. Don't cut them off and make them feel like their friendship meant nothing, but stay work appropriate, always. Your new position doesn't make you a new you, just a you with different things on your to-do list.
3) Remember where you came from
Friendships aren't the most important part of work, but keeping good relationships with co-workers does matter. Keep in touch with the colleagues you built a rapport with in your previous position. If your new position makes it tricky to do so, consider making an effort outside the office to catch up. Draw the line between work and play though: Don't gossip about internal goings-on that could compromise the integrity of your new position. And don't worry if you lose a few "friends" along the way. Focus on your supporters, not the detractors.
4) Don't get complacent
Though you should feel at home in your new position, you shouldn't rest on your laurels. Avoid the temptation to slack off and always remember the work ethic you displayed to get you to where you are. Trust us: Your superiors are expecting that same hard-working employee six months down the line.
Secure a mentor
Do you have someone to lean on for career counsel? If so, are you properly cultivating the relationship with them? Make sure you're talking to your mentor about ways you can be constantly approving. They see your work from an outsiders point of view at least one level above you. That's valuable to your quest for a promotion.
Stay late, pick up that extra assignment
Simply put, if you don't put in that extra work, you won't stand out, so go the extra mile. If you can't stay late, work more efficiently. Do self-evaluations and set personal professional goals. Reach above and beyond the bare minimum to show that you're capable of handling projects beyond what you're currently in charge of. It's not about "sucking up," it's about proving the work that you're capable of handling comfortably.
Keep a team-first, upbeat outlook
Did a co-worker whom you've outperformed get the big promotion before you? Are you feeling tired from the abundance of overtime you're putting in? Remain positive and don't let it discourage you. Take time to relax at home, and separate how you're feeling from the work you need to get done. Maintaining that positive attitude will help you to feel better and will reflect better on you as an employee.

Shizuoka Hobby fair and RG 1/1 Gundam
Konnichiwa mina-san. Even though we didn't have any one from the Figure.fm community answer our call, fellow vlogger and soul creator of SubTokyo , Kxela or Alex K and I went to Shizuoka to attend the last 2 days of the Shizuoka Hobby fair and check out the 1/1 RG Gundam statue and hobby museum.
A bit disappointed by the fact that it didn't move, have steam or had the lights it had when it first was build or back in Odaiba, it was very nice to see the RX-78-2 Gundam again. (I went to Odaiba back in 2009 to see it...)
The museum was very surprising and had a lot of things cramped in a small space. For example: a life-size reproduction of Amuro's core fighter as seen in the last moments of the Kidou Senshi Gundam anime series and even a big 1/9.9 Gundam made out of used runners!!
We had 2 beautiful sunny days and very nice weather overall. You'll probably see Kxela's SubTokyo vlogs soon and see many great footage of the event. I'll upload just a few pictures I took there. With only a few days left in Japan, I'm off to eat great food and enjoy the last of my trip here. It's almost "hanami" time too so I'll go snap a few pics of the Sakuras at Yoyogi, Ueno and near some rivers too.
Take care everyone and enjoy life as much as you can,it's very short...
P.S.: Sorry if it takes time to load, this post is very heavy on pictures.
An HDR attempt that turned out not so bad I think. It was the only 3 shots I took in RAW to make an HDR, since I got me an ND filter instead for my Lumix.
The North entrance of the JR Shinkansen line at Shinagawa and the Starbucks on top. Waited for Kxela there...
Some Shinkansen trains coming and going.
It was quite and empty train when we got there, but when we got back to Tokyo, we didn't have any seats and had to sit between carts next to the doors. At least the Shinkansen is very fast and Toyko/Shizuoka only took us about an hour.
One of my first train ticket, since for the last four years of Japan travel, I only used my Suica card. Very convenient.
Got the chance to see great views of Fuji-yama/Fuji-sama/Mount Fuji on our way to Shizuoka.
This was our train at the Shizuoka station.
A glimpse of the giant 15meters Gundam statue at the entrance.
Some melting metal from beam saber usage. Sadly they only lit the base for an hour between 6 and 7 PM so we didn't get the chance to see it more lighted, cause the sun was still there and there was too much natural lights...
Char was there searching for Amuro and spying the Gundam while there was no Renpou/Federation authorities and the Shizuoka security service were too kind to do anything! :D
Great weather on that weekend!
This was the official 1/48 30th anniversary Gunpla model of the statue itself. Very nice and detailed.
Took a few pics on the stairs to get our pictures taken by the staff there since around 5h30, there was no queue anymore.
Without a doubt, it would have been awesome to see all the lights, movement and steam like back in Odaiba. Don't know why they stopped all that since Shizuoka wasn't saving electricity. Unlike Shibuya or around Tokyo, all the neon signs and commercials on giant TVs were working in Shizuoka.
Blue screen of death created by the angry non-moving-or-lighted Gundam!!
This was our view from the Daiichi Shizuoka Hotel. Cheap and comfy, even had an onsen!!
Close-up of the runner Gundam.
Awesome reproduction of the core fighter. (with some working lights in the cockpit...)
Well, last glimpses at the Gundam until they make a real working one. I hope that won't happen since it'll probably be war. No reason to build a Gundam if not to battle and protect the ones you love from evil organization. (or space exploration maybe...)
