Here’s a photo of the original mess…

…then I cleaned it up with the Dremel…

…before assembling the lid and re-applying the Bondo substitute. Not sure if I used enough hardener this time, but I think it’ll come out ok. I used the sanding part of a Dremel to clean it up, and then a tack cloth to ensure that the whole thing was clean for the liquid metal crap to stick to. As you can see I’ve started putting the mesh into the lid too, although the mesh at the front is going to be tight fitting to say the least.

Here’s a close up of the ‘Bondo’ job. I know it looks a mess but I’m working with crappy tin-like metal and the Bondo substitute’s pretty heavy, so it tends to sink.

I used a small pair of clamps to hold the damaged rail that the Jigsaw wrecked earlier on into shape. Hopefully, when this has dried, it’ll all be held in place.

I also used some of the left over stuff to fill in some holes in the back of the computer. I’m going to give this plenty of time to dry before I worry about it, so expect an update sometime next week.
