BEWARE! (This could happen to your Arc)

Lux_Luminous · Jun 24, 2004

If you send your Arc LS to Jets22, it'll come back with a great hand-selected 3W and a new finish . . . /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinser2.gif

Thank you for the great work!

Looks nice! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif Is it beadblasted? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon3.gif

That's a really cool finish. Looks almost like it's made of stone.

Lux_Luminous · Jun 24, 2004

Ceramic bead-blasted, TWOJ, S017 reflector. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

It's running at approx. 700ma.

I'm a very happy camper! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif

I have to make one of these.
I love the look also, you said it best MTFD, looks like stone.

Do I have to use ceramic to get this look, or will any Bead blasting system, such as at my work place, /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif ,,, do the job?

But I like the finish, too and I'm shure it will improve handling.

Sorry for my ignorance, but what exactly is ceramic bead blasting? Is it just bead blasting with ceramic particles instead of metal ones? If so, does it just produce a different type of texture, or does the ceramic actually embed itself in the alumimum to some extent?

spgrk · Jun 25, 2004

Pardon MY ignorance, but how does one send it to Jets22, and how much is charged for the transformation?

bindibadgi · Jun 25, 2004

I think that ceramic as opposed to silicone is just a safety thing for the sand blaster. I used to do it, and I was blowing black stuff out of my nose 24/7. I quit because I thought my health wasn't worth the money. Ceramic should be a bit safer - ie it shouldn't cut up your lungs or give you cancer.

I think that's the only difference. After all, you're just blasting little sharp things really fast at the thing you want to texturise (or remove paint/rust/powdercoat from).

You could send him a PM /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Looks like it has a reflector in there. Is it just my eyes, or could it be?

Canuckle · Jun 25, 2004

Nope. Your eyes are fine.

Ceramic bead-blasted, TWOJ, S017 reflector.
It's running at approx. 700ma.

Cheers.
