Thanks Mike,
Liquid Metal job went extremely well....I was probably a
bit too miserly with the amount, I had a few low spots.
It sanded down nicely though.
I put a fresh sheet of 400 wet and dry over the OTA
tube and gently rocked the focuser back and forward over it
until it bedded down.
In hindsight, I reckon I should have added heaps more, let it spill
out the sides as you press down.
In a few hours, pull it carefully off and cut any excess off with
a stanley blade while it's still reasonably soft.
And be careful none gets on the two Allen grub screws!
Thanks for the advice!
regards,
Steve B.
