Need Coin Door for Doodle Bug. Have door skin, but need the inside guts...

I f you need a 3d file send me a sample and i'll draw it up for you.

Bob

Pm me

I can do it no problem, If interested PM me. Needs to get to me soon though, as i am out of the country on the first of April.

You can see some of my stuff over on Pinballmakers in the 3d area, i drew many of the Solidworks 2013 and 2015 items.

JB weld is ok, but you are better off doing this with Epoxy and fibre glass strips... Rough up the inside with 80 grit Sandpaper. I really recomend West System epoxy.

If you can wait till i get back in country( 6 weeks) i can do it for you... I have all the stuff.

Mark, Probably the West System White papers can give you a better idea than i can:

I have a gallon of resin and whatever hardener size goes with it, I think it's a quart. The pumps are very handy. For small stuff around the house you might want to go with a smaller size than the gallon. I think West will tell you shelf life is 1-2 years ( i didn't look it up) but i have product for 5-7 years still works fine.

It's very much the same as using polyester resin and glass, but the epoxy is a much better resin than the polyester structurally, It doesn't stink as bad either. Some few people have allergies to epoxy, Luckily i do not... Read Precautions on West site.

The key to that kind of layup is to keep the the layup " Lean" meaning as little resin as possible to fully impregnate the glass. It takes a bit of practice cutting the glass layers, and after a while you start to feel a bit like a tailor.

Working time is pretty long, there are two different hardeners, Fast i think is 15 minutes, Slow about 30 minutes. The pot life is effected by temp Cold =longer hot= shorter

Tips;
cover your workspace with paper, get 10 disposable quart cups in the paint department at HD and rotate them. Ie. once you mix a batch just let it harden and then you can pop it out of the cup. Try not to scratch up the inside of the cup then the batches will pop out easily.

because the reaction is exothermic ( it gives off heat) and the heat shortens the pot life, Be careful keeping a bunch of it in the pot. you will find that the epoxy you quickly spread out on the project has a lot longer working time than what sits "cooking" in the pot. Sometimes i take the pot and spread it out thin on on the work quickly, then come back to move it around later. this gives a longer life than leaving it in the pot.

West system sells stir sticks, get a bunch they are great. They pop out after it hardens too. https://www.westsystem.com/application-tools/reusable-mixing-sticks/

Use disposable gloves, you will go through a bunch.

I like the Light filler (410) Mix up a batch of resin, then add the filler till it's like peanut butter, The best wood filler ever!

You can use Epoxy to make anything! Burt Rutan made a plane that flew around the world! Your mileage may vary...

Is that the metal cabinet? Is the head metal also? What does that weigh?

maybe one of the plastic targets will work? I could cut the details off the back so it is flat if you like.
