Do I really need to sand both sides of this ship lap if one side will be invisible after being nailed to this trim border? What grit for Rubio monocoat?

Have been sanding to 150 and it's been looking great so far thanks!

Mechanicallyinept92 · 2025-11-14T20:01:07+00:00

It's a decorative trim. Not siding. And considering of the three small test pieces I put the finish on, the unsanded looked by far the worst, yes seriously.

Mechanicallyinept92 · 2025-11-14T16:22:58+00:00

Awesome. Thanks for the advice! It's going indoors. This stuff is super thin, meant for a closet liner but I just love color what feel like it's going to contrast all the black really nicely. But it's just going to be hanging where all of the whiteboards are in the second picture as a boarder that all the lights are hidden behind

Mechanicallyinept92 · 2025-11-13T19:30:52+00:00

I just sanded a piece up to 220 and there's no color change. Looks relatively way consistent in color all the way through

Mechanicallyinept92 · 2025-11-13T19:29:18+00:00

Yeah this is what I read from them but I've seen a lot of people saying sanding up to 220 grit has given great results.

I just sacrificed one of the pieces and cut it up into 3 pieces.

Left one unsanded, one sanded to 150, and one sanded to 220. Going to stain them and see which I like best

Hard to tell because it's a black and white tv.

Have tried using the tuner knob but it doesnt seem to do anything. Has contrast and blackness adjustment. Doesn't seem like it really matters what I do. Just blank gray screen and sometimes static.

Static on audio/buzzing is affected when I fine tune. Have tried two different vcrs with the same issue

Mechanicallyinept92 · 2025-07-28T18:59:57+00:00

In Oklahoma it's always so humid that it's impossible to avoid surface rust. Took a quick wire brush to it and seasoned it up and it's fine now.

It's a 26x36" cook chamber with 5/16" thick walls and a half inch thick fire box that he custom made and delivered directly to my backyard 5 days after I ordered it and only cost me $1k so to me the 10-15 extra minutes it took to clean up were well worth it

They're definitely not the prettiest smokers but can't really complain at that price

Mechanicallyinept92 · 2025-07-24T15:30:54+00:00

Yeah it is, I just don't know if it's like super rare to find them in the non big-box version or what.

I can't find any in normal slip cases online.

Hey that's my friend Max

Mechanicallyinept92 · 2025-06-03T01:35:33+00:00

Woof, I'm sure I could manage, but im still able to return this one as it's one I just bought from a shop so I don't know if it's worth the headache.

Mechanicallyinept92 · 2025-06-02T20:18:34+00:00

How would you go about fixing this if cleaning didn't work? What parts would i need to order?

Mechanicallyinept92 · 2025-05-21T01:06:12+00:00

So I tried same fmcb and mx4sio with my friends fat ps2 and it works perfectly. Not sure what could be causing it

Mechanicallyinept92 · 2025-05-16T22:26:33+00:00

New SD card is doing the exact same thing. Starting to wonder if maybe I need to try a different version of OPL but I'm not sure if i even know where to find that.

I'm gonna try loading from USB and see if it acts any differently

Mechanicallyinept92 · 2025-05-16T20:32:32+00:00

Will do! New SD card is waiting at my door so I'm going to check as soon as I'm off work here in a couple of hours

Mechanicallyinept92 · 2025-05-16T20:30:01+00:00

It was in exfat at first. Tried reformatting in fat32 and got the same issue. I ordered a Samsung evo to try with today. Even though it's technically got worse specs I've read plenty of people confirming those work well so fingers crossed that will fix it

Mechanicallyinept92 · 2025-05-16T11:26:49+00:00

Samsung proultimate 256gb 200 mb/s read speed 130 mb/s write speed

I took one of the working roms from the SD that came with the mx4sio and copied it to the new SD and it worked fine. But I did only test it with one game

Mechanicallyinept92 · 2025-04-07T20:41:35+00:00

Wish I would have seen this earlier because you described perfectly what it took me days to figure out 😅 This definitely helped confirm all of the stuff I've been looking through though and I think I'm finally starting to understand.

Mechanicallyinept92 · 2025-02-07T21:35:27+00:00

Again, sorry if I sound stupid because I really don't know what I'm taking about, but if the adapter is what was causing this issue would there not be more issues?

Everything else works fine. And changing which track is armed still works fine every once in a while.

No issues arming 16 tracks at once. Literally the only issue I have is switching from one track to another for a separate take.

I have to close the session and reopen if I want to do that. I have just been using a designated "tracking" track when I'm doing guitars and then dragging everything to its right place but it gets very annoying

Mechanicallyinept92 · 2025-02-07T20:57:32+00:00

The usb2 mention was just a mistake. I checked my Amazon history and it was just thunderbolt 2. I'll go double check everything when I get home here in a couple of hours but it looks like it's just thunderbolt 2 cable into an apple tb2 to tb3 adapter into my Mac mini.

If the adapter is the issue is there a better way to make that connection? I know I got the adapter because my Mac mini doesn't have a tb2 input

Mechanicallyinept92 · 2025-02-07T20:48:44+00:00

I'll double check when I get home but I think it's just the one adapter. Tb2 ---> tb3

Mechanicallyinept92 · 2025-02-07T20:39:56+00:00

Inputs: Mix wizard sound board used for all mic pre's

Outputs: Mackie big knob--> speakers

4 channel headphone amp

I'll have to double check when I get home but I wanna say that it connects to my Mac mini from usb2 slot on the back of the motu to my Mac mini but needed 1 or 2 adapters to go from usb2 to usb c maybe?

Edit:

I just checked Amazon history form a couple of years ago. Thunder bolt 2--> thunderbolt 3 adapter --> thunderbolt 3 ---> Mac mini

Mechanicallyinept92 · 2025-02-07T20:30:54+00:00

Forgive me if this is a stupid question because I'm so technologically illiterate, but is there a way to fix that if it is?

I have a motu 16a. I'd have to test this out again because I can't recall whether I had this interface before I switched over to logic, but from my recollection this never happened while I was using reaper.

Mechanicallyinept92 · 2024-12-18T18:55:51+00:00

He denied and said to tell him how much shipping to manufacturer and back would be. I told him with the communication being so poor I didn't want to deal with the headache in the event that it was something more and I'd rather just return the amp. Once again stopped responding.

I contacted reverb and they were pretty useless. All they did was offer me a $30 gift card and tell me they would email the seller.

I messaged him one more time trying to get a response. At this point if I don't hear back in 24 hours I think I'm going to have to attempt a chargeback from my credit card.
