I can answer that one - Yep!

The vinyl films stick really well - go and check out MNPCTech's website - his tutorial video is particularly good

I've personally used the film on my G15 keyboard:

Yes, you can buy the consumer size version of the tape I used in the video at Home Depot. You will find it in the aisle for Paint Supplies ie: Brushes & Masking tape.

cool vid bill! quick question, if using only a rotary tool, which is the best way or 'bit' for cutting round corners/bends etc??
i ask because i don't have a jigsaw at present and want to get my curves as precise as possible!

I use a Cutting Disc for pretty much every type of execution, but I'm also crazy.

I go into depth on how I cut Circles with a Dremel here

The real trick in getting clean cuts and corners is using a rounded side Hand File afterwards

MRMOBEUS · 24-June-07, 06:07 PM

thanks bro!! i shall remember to look at your tutorials more often!
as i find them extremely straight forward and easy to follow!!

THRASHER2 · 24-June-07, 08:37 PM

Bill,

Should a member remove the Panel Locks before cutting the side Panel?
Sometimes they get in the way when making your cuts with a Gig saw

Plus I like the cardboard Box prop

prailone · 25-June-07, 07:02 PM

wow love how u have tututorials on your site and u actualy answer questions and dont just give automated responses

Hey, I really appreciate your feedback. I always try to "give back" and share knowledge when my time allows me to. I enjoy seeing people get excited about Modding. I love it and try to spread the gospel of "diy or die" as much as I can

Thanks for this video. This is what inspired me to start modding. Im just starting my first entire case mod and hopefully all goes well. I couldnt find that tape though anywhere around me. So I got the #4011 double sided mounting tape. Its not clear but oh well it should work the same hopefully.

Thats awesome to hear! Happy to inspire another Modder! Mod On!

I've found the CLEAR rolls of the tape at Home Depot.

2000contoursvt · 12-September-07, 09:12 PM

Yeah I checked at Home Depot because I figured they would have it but they dont have it here. So I dont know but it should work just fine even though its not clear. I just wont be able to use it on like mesh because you will see gray tape behind it. Lol.

mnpctech · 26-September-07, 02:24 PM

You can buy the super size roll online

It's #4910, 1" wide @ 36yards for $73.19 per roll.. Mines lasted me 1.5 yrs
