[QUOTE="Rob Lancaster, post: 168030, member: 6154"] Hey Tony, after those kick ass storms I hope your still among the living... Anyway I finally finished that UV exposure box for my brother.. It came out really great! I hope it will help produce high quality printed circuit boards for decades to come... The box was made from solid 3/4 inch poplar. It was stapled, glued and screwed together.. Then came a massive amount of sanding.. Now for the hard part... Trying to apply polyurethane in this humidity is a slow process. If I apply the polyurethane on a 90 degree angle, such as the side of a box, it will sag big time every time; DOH!! So I had to do one side at a time. The side that was facing up and flat.. At least after all that, the finish came out the way I wanted it to. No stain...… The interior is pained gloss white for good UV reflectivity. The hardware like the hinges we found locally. The latches and buckles were special ordered from London. That's because we NEED quality stainless steel here or else.. The electrical is always my favorite part.. Piece "A" cake!.. The cord is stored inside the unit when not in use.. [/QUOTE]
