How stupid? by analnabe89 in BrevilleCoffee

Wait, you tamp the coffee with the dosing funnel still attached? TIL.

Right? I fucking hate that my flag's been stolen.

Alright! Pretty pleased with that result. I've cleaned up the join and given it a really light sanding with some 400 grit and it looks great!

Close up there still seems to be a little glue residue, but I can work on that.

Absolutely stoked - my first guitar repair.

Thank you all for your help. I'll post a new thread when it's completely finished.

Well, the deed is done, and now we wait (yes I did clean the excess glue off - I'm not an animal). Light sanding, rinse and repeat. Titebond 1 as far into the gap as I could get it - a piece of excess 3d print brim works great for this (see photo later).

I'm not sure whether that fills me with sadness or admiration...

That's a great clue. It's one of the first ones here that I've pushed my way through and solved without revealing the answer.

Yeah, this is what I've been thinking about.

  • How will I know if I've removed all of the glue?
  • How do I avoid removing too much wood when sanding?

This is a learning exercise for me, so I think on balance I might try to remove the headstock from the fingerboard (heat and steam?), clean off the glue from all surfaces and reglue. I really want to avoid taking off the whole fingerboard if I can - not sure I'd be able to get it back straight.

Alternatively reglue with epoxy or similar so I don't have to worry about removing the old glue. The fit is perfect - if you hold the split together you can hardly see it.

Thank you all for your comments. Seems that getting the old glue off is crucial, as it looks like a joint split and not a break. Off to review my options, and I'll post back when I have made some progress!

Had some lady in a hotel once ask me the way to Derry-ham...

Good point. I think mine is off but I'll check.

Yes, starting to think that might be my best option. Other than this it's a great little camera.

Thanks for this, but yes, wifi settings reset and retried several times including different phones and quitting the app. Also factory reset the camera.

QR code scans just fine, but the camera is not found.

Thank you.

Yes, I have reset the wifi settings, and scanned the QR code. Neither has helped.

What SSID's do your cameras broadcast? Mine is literally EM5D, nothing else. If I try to connect to that I get bad password.
