Re: Case assembly discussion

after you sand the edge of the case layers( i used some 400 grit wet dry) take a drop of wd-40 to your finger and oil the area you sanded then wipe it off with a paper towel, it makes the edge really polished looking and returns the sanded area to the color of the rest of the material. :D
