Really hate it when I do stupid s@#t!

I drilled two enclosures for Paragon mini's, put the waterslides on a few days ago and clear coated them today, working on populating the boards it dawned on me that I needed to drill for two footswitches, yep my dumb ass only drilled one!

ugh...that sucks x 2. hoping that's the worst of the week for you!

After the clear coat dries, I'll sand them a bit paint over them and use them for some other six hole projects I have coming up

I hate when that happens!

I am currently trying to figure out what to do with the extra 1/4” hole I drilled in my windmill pedal.

You may just be able to put duct or packing tape over them and just rip the entire decal off.

Damn.... I have to drill a new box for a muzzle I did a while ago and enclosure is a total loss. So that might make you feel better...

JB Weld has gotten me out of a few holey messes.

Maybe before the clear coat was put on, too late for that now!

I lost an enclosure when I went to see if the clear coat was dry and left a big blotchy finger print. I panicked and wanted to sand it right away except that I forgot it wasn’t dry, and took a sanding block to it only to spread the blotchy across the whole surface . Lol

 

[HamishR]

Blotchy is the new black.

When you think about it, the enclosure is almost always the pricier part of your pedal...

 

[Gordo]

I've had it work even after clear coat since the only anchor point is the decal.

Well either that or I use really crappy paint

 

[Feral Feline]

Barry! I feel your pain! What you need is a REALLY BIG bi-colour LED between the two new footswitch holes.



+1 on Benny's suggestion for JB-Weld.

Back-fill, extra over the edges, sand the front down level again... well, you know the drill.

Glue an orange LED to a vacuum tube, put that inside the box behind the extra stomp switch hole and tell everyone your Paragon has a vacuum tube in it. Easily adds $100 to the value.
