Re: The bucket has arrived!

Just got the amp. in the mail and it works great. Now I need to download some mp3 sound effects for it. I got the Under armour in as well. Gloves are on order and I have my eye on an antena for the com. pad for the back of my clone. Let me know what you think? http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh27...

Re: The bucket has arrived!

Not a problem! No worries I have redeemed myself. I got it all smoothed out and hit it with a second coat of primer. I am going to let it set up for a day. Then wet sand it again. No worries Jon, it was my bad. As far as the filler primer goes I'm still not a fan but it didn't ruin my bucket so I'm ...

Re: The bucket has arrived!

THX , I figured out a few things I didn't let the primer cure long enough. The can said 2 to 4 hrs. I dry sanded it last night and I think I'm ok. Its a smooth finish and I was able to correct my mistake of hitting the primer after 4 hrs. If I were to put in my two cents, I would have to agree with ...

Re: The bucket has arrived!

I'm so sick of sand paper it's not funny! I sanded the first set of primer down removing some of the filler primer. FYI. that stuff sucks do not use it! I should have read the label more closely. Oh, did I say that filler primer sucks! Let me say it again, IT SUCKS! If you use it be prepared to be a...

Re: The bucket has arrived!

My first coat of primer is on but I'm not a big fan of the primer. It was a Rust-Oleum Filler Primer. I would not recommend it at all it did not live up to it's label. It did not fill any gaps or minor imperfections. I will use Rust-Oleum again but a different kind for the last coat. On a positive n...

Re: The bucket has arrived!

Back to the Bucket! Did three more coats of bondo. I figured that while I was at it I may as well get it all. I took notice that the only part of the bucket mold that just didn't stand out much was the plate in the back. http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh270/dallastr/a7.jpg I looked around the ho...

I just finished the templates for the right shoe and the left shoe will get done soon. I purchased some white vinyl from a local ...
