The New “What did you do with your Z today” (with off topic replies) XXXVII

I think heat set the glue even more. The one without the heat basically just popped right off. So when I removed them on the set I planned on using, I used no heat. It did mar up the outer part of the housing a little bit but I was sanding and painting them gloss black anyway so I was able to sand it smooth.

I replaced all my led's with red ones too. I'm just going to use silicone sealant to seal them back up in case I need to re-open them. If mine by some chance show up tonight, I'll have them together tomorrow.
