Al isn't nearly as resistant to corrosion as 77

And a lot more common.

What happened????????

I was supposed to get 2 for Rudy and clear for myself.

None were black or CF.

After all the runaround. ..

I got horrible news.

Anybody interested in a black carbon fiber jwrap?

Tapatyped

Doh!

Scratch that!

Rudy did want 1 black carbon fiber.

Looks like he's getting 2.

Still not what we agreed upon.

Can I ask, whats the recommended method for keeping the contacts clean? Will alcohol do or should I use some kind of polish for them?

Thanks

 

[custom-classic]

I use isopropyl, then Deoxit gold.

A word of caution: Anyone who's looking to have jwraps screw up their order..., please verify your button size.
In the beginning, I was making them 3/8" diameter. I have switched to 7/16".
Beck's is 7/16", so that's what the jwrap will be...

 

[custom-classic]

What pads are those??? Do you recommend them for upkeep?

Yes.


Amazon has them. Perhaps Nauti could share the link, as he recently purchased some...

"Pure iridium is very brittle and is nearly impossible to machine."

 

[element77]

Ahh but add a bit to platinum or titanium and those alloys become super metals

 

[element77]

I'm thinking element77 contacts...overkill?

 

[element77]

KK,
Looks like this one has both our names on it, so does that mean I have to pay for it and only get to spend time with it every other weekend!!??

 

[Nautilusfan]

Yes.

What happened????????

Looks like the squonk hole is cut in the wrong place as well as incorrect orientation.

 

[Chowderhead1972]

Shouldn't that be KK & Ir?

(We'll see how many science geeks there are besides me)

Periodical table humor.... Iridium...

 

[kingdal]

I use isopropyl, then Deoxit gold.

That's simple. Thanks!

Norton bear-tex gray pad. 10 minutes...

Knowing what to use is all well and good, but it's only half the battle. What remains after that is the technique by which you manage to get all the brush lines perfectly parallel with the base of the mod. Would you be willing to give us some pointers in that direction, please?

 

[custom-classic]

The last thing I do when finishing these, is lay the pad on the workbench/counter top,...and slowly drag the mod along the pad, keeping it as straight as possible...
