New tricks

I have recently had to cope with mounting sun protection film on windows.
The easiest way to do it is:

1. Determine which is the foil and which is the protection. To do this use two sticky tape cuts so that you can separate the foil from the protection.

2. Clean the window thoroughly.

3. Wet the window with water by spraying it on the window.

4. Apply the film with the protection part towards you. It will stick on the window just because of superficial tension between water and foil.

5. As the protective film is in your direction you can peel it off using the sticky tape. The foil will expose its glued side.

6. Quickly spray water on the glued side of film. Use lot of water.

GET SOMEBODY TO HELP YOU HERE IN ORDER TO REDUCE RISKS OF DAMAGING THE FOIL.

7. Take the  film out of the window and turn it around. Position it carefully with the glued side on te window. As both the window pane and foil are still wet it will not adhere instantly so you can make adjustments.

8. Using a spatula (wooden, plastic) remove all the bubbles by moving from centre to sides.

9. Cut the excess foil using an Xacto knife/cutter.

Newest wireless keyboard


With mechanical switches.

In fact this is a CoBRA Romanian Spectrum clone inside a HC91 (another clone) case.
The idea is that it has no power supply and seems a little damaged.

Let the restoration begin :)
