Re: Scratched Window

[Smoked1]

I got a window kit a while ago and scratched it while putting that blasted lock sttrip in. Is there a way to buff out the scratch? I am going to get a tool to do it from now on but this just sucks.

[aoC_PRoZaK]

look at radioshack or some shop of that sort. there´s some stuff used for polishing scratches out of handy displays. i think its even named scratch remover. shouldn´t bee too pricy and used with a towel theres no chance wrecking the plastic any further like as if you were using water-sandpaper or stuff like that ;)

[VoidedWarranty]

be careful if you get something to gritty your going to scratch the window even worse. Might just be easier to stop by your local hardware store and get a piece of plexiglass!!!

[Smoked1]

;D Kewl thanks guys. I figure if it's gona be messed up anyway I will just try to buff the scrathes and if that don't work I will get a new one. Stupid locking strip pisses me off. If anyone knows the name of the tool to get those lil bastards in there that would be great. Thanks!

I heard if you use water it helps it slide in and the water evaporates after it lubricates the rubber.

[XDiGiTaLX]

PCMods.com sells some polish... and if for the locking strip... this might be funny but KY Liquid or a sexual lubracant could work well.. :P LOL i'm serious

[VoidedWarranty]

damn wish I would have thought to use water as a lub on mine. Was a pain to get in. Dunno about the KY ... guess it would clean up ok ?!?!?!??!

[knight1976]

Whoa!! Put the KY down and step away from my window!!!!

[XDiGiTaLX]

LOL!!! WHy step away from the window? :P

[VoidedWarranty]

Xdigitalx, you worry me!

[XDiGiTaLX]

No seriously SPAM;D why do you have to step away? and KY Liquid worx. Hey if it worx for lub for plesure why not with a window/ ... i put this stuff on the floor u'd slip! ;D

[Smoked1]

Kick ass! I wish I would have tought of that. This damn thing took me forever to get in. I almost took off my hand a couple of times. I have a spare but I prefer to keep the two of them. KY jelly, hmm. I think my ex might have some of that. Thanks guys thats a big help.

[XDiGiTaLX]

LOL, whats more important? Your sexual plesure or ur computer?
I'd chose the computer, so use that ky!

I see two possible problems with KY:
-Residue after it evaporates. SPAMI'm not sure what KY is based from (oil? SPAMpetrolium? SPAMother?), but I think it would be likely to leave a residue, or not evaporate at all.

-Reaction with strip. SPAMAgain, I'm not sure what KY is based on, but I know that certain oils, or something, can have corrosive effects on some rubbers. SPAMThat's why the recommend not to use like, baby oil with condoms, or something like that.

Anyway, I haven't experimented with case windows and KY to prove either of my possible problems, and maybe someone here has, but I'm just bringing up my thoughts.

[VoidedWarranty]

Ok XDiGiTaLX here's your chance to stand up and prove your theory. Install a case window with KY (leave out waht you do after your covered in KY SPAM;D) and let us know how things go.

[XDiGiTaLX]

Ur a bad boy. Ur making me look bad :'( U know my dremel lit on fire! And i have no dough for a window, unless u can donate a window:). I know that KY LIQUID (Yes Liquid) is water based! :) and if it evaporates just wipe it off with water!

[Smoked1]

Ok I am back guys. That whole windows XP thing kicked my ass. I'm back to the trusty old 98 again. GUI was nice but none of my hardware worked. It just SUCKED!

[XDiGiTaLX]

Thats good... Not to be mean but what does this have to do with a window and KY Liquid :)

[Smoked1]
