OMG.. bro hw u crack it

hurm..mybe u can use bondo filler..put it on the crack area and sand it..but then ull need to spray it to black..a bit costly..

I dunno..maybe during my journey frm KL to PG..but it's in BOX..and it's NEW...The last time i checked was in the shop and it was perfect..today i take out..I noticed it..damn it..and it's covered with polysterene...i don't know how it cracked..

it's plastic worr?? if i fill it..won't it be like out of shape??

so sayang..maybe u should try a hard glue

sorry bro ur ran out of luck

if u want it to look perfect...

[1] use super hard glue (gam gajah) ekekeke
[2] fill the crack slit with bondo...
[3] sand paper it properly.. keep rubbing till u feel like touching ur GF skin.. (if she' smooth enuf la)
[4] respray... if u're not confident enuf in spray handling... send it to pro... extra money for better quality

Added on September 23, 2007, 10:50 amadditional info... ppl use filler not to make the surface bumpy or wrinkling... filler is to fill up holes, crack.... that's y afer that need to sand paper it... to remove unused filler, so only the filler in the crack left... on the surface is gone

Ok..i will try and c..maybe could work out..am trying to find a way to detached the front panel..it's wired to leds...sigh..unlucky...really am..

if u got the money u buya new one lo!! just kidding!

I already pokkai getting this casing..LoL

So..today i tried detaching the front panel..Which comes with a mesh grill also..Took me a while to take out the grill..Korek and korek only..Finally take out and unscrew the side panel..Looks like the crack is really really bad!



And you see..This crack here crack in the middle where an acrylic piece is sticked there..Which i don't know why..I think for the LED purpose..



So i should go on glue first and use bondo ?? Is there any spray that has like gliter on it but it's not metallic??

Any expert that can guide me ? Really appreciate..

Wa .... auto cracked or ?

Not really sure..sigh..

muahaha, the acrylic on the crack seem like being repaired. You got conned.

Actually no...Because the below part of the front panel also got this acrylic thingy...and it has no crack or whatsoever...

some clear epoxy should do the job.

then cement or bondo the place...and a complete respray of the front panel.

yup..use some epoxy n bondo..but need skil..if u not confident enuf to do dat, u can ask pro to do it..

Well, it all depends on how much that casing is worth. If it's a rm60 case or even anything below rm100 then ur better off buying a new case again. It'll cost u more to repair it nicely in the end.

It's a raidmax smilodon...uncle ian..got it for rm300++..

So i got epoxy..



But what is Bondo ?? i can't find it....LoL...Went jusco just now got this epoxy only

Do i need to use this bondo since i'm using epoxy already ??

yup..i think u still need some bondo and some sand paper with a suitable grit..hav u find is at hardware shop?or if u r in penang area u can ask it from bombman..
