nice and tidy Woolley, great job! Not far off now,
Just wondering; you used multiple pieces I guess to cover the whole cavity. Do you need to connect those pieces with some solder? I ask this because I have no idea if this should be done.
Depends on whether the adhesive is conductive or not. If it passes a current across the pieces it should be okay?Quote:

Kick, what I do is , on the overlap I fold the tape back under itself on one edge, so the "top" is also in contact withthe layer underneath. If you press down hard it stays in place, I've not had any troubles doing it this wayQuote:

cheers,

@Dedman: that is a simple and effective solution. I'll do the same when I am gonna shield mine.
@Gavin: I do have a multimeter so I can check.
Sorry for the question in your topic Woolley ;)
No apologies required - all good stuff. I never thought of folding over the edges - top tip.Quote:

Sadly I got a splash of other stain on it so I had to do a cover up. See further on...Quote:

Quite a decent gloss finish overall though despite me using a dreadful acrylic varnish which proved very hard work.
