Isn't that what the make beer out of??

Hi Durachko and guys,

Got my projector started just awiting a camera to start my plog.Iv got a samsung 710n and was wondering about the anti glare.Iv removed the antiglare before on another 710n 12 hour soak ,a bit tough to get off but i noticed that what came off was one thick layer ,no seperate anti glare / polariser.

Before i got a chance to check it out the tape i put on to stop the water getting to the electronics caught the ffc on removal and ripped it needless to say gutted.So wanted to make sure with you before i touch this one that there are no seperate layers of anti glare /polariser and the piece which i took off was indeed correct.I have soaked the antiglare /polariser in hot water but cannot see any "layers".

Got a shiny screen that doesnt work now but at least iv got a spare frame /board which i can use.I live and learn but wasnt sure whether il get a picture with the new one after removal or do i have to go the "buy polariser "route.
Amazing how nervous you get when u mess something up,im not working at the moment so cant afford to make same mistake.Also unsure about the rear and what exactly can be removed if anything.
Any help would be great man
Thank god for this forum

Tough to get off? Don't sound right. Have you seen remdaddy's video of his strip? Check it out. Mine came off as easily as his did.

My monitor doesn't have antiglare on the "back" side. If it's not "dull" looking there's no antiglare there.

I suggest simply carefully covering the antiglare with toweling and not adding extra tape and junk to protect the other stuff.

Cover the toweling with a piece of plastic or inverted tupperware container to slow evaporation.

I used a reservoir of toilet paper in the middle of my toweling to keep things wet.

Your camera will be a big help!

You must have the polarizer or you won't get a pic.

You should be able to separate the antiglare from the lower layers after your soak and peel it off really easily. I'm confused as to what exactly you removed on your first attempt? Were you right down to the glass or was there still some layer(s) on there?

Did the stuff you removed the first time have polarizing qualities to it? That is, if you put on a pair of polarized sunglasses and rotated the sheet(s) in front of your eyes did they go from dark to black?

Hi man
Thanks for the quick reply.Well im looking at it now and the lcd looks very shiny ,the film i have removed seems quite thick,thicker than an a4 piece of paper very dark but no residue left on the lcd after removal.Il checkout the video of the strip to see if theres any similarities with mine.Your right about the camera will make life much easier mate.il do a quick search and get back to you man

I forgot to mention my antiglare curled up when removed. It shouldn't be dark at all if it's just antiglare. Polarizer will have some tint.

thanks man.Well after looking like a right dude looking out the window with my shades on with my film in my hands "pity is raining" I can see that has got a polariser as well as the anti glare.Can see the darkening when i turn it.damn.Was wondering if different 710ns sold at different times might have different coatings /components as iv put this into warm water to see if theres any seperation and used a hair dryer and no luck.My new screen came from the same place so i guess il have the same problem
Cant believe how easy that a/g removed on the video..

So you have a "spare" one and you're going to attempt a strip on that one too? Make shur ya get it right next time!

The FFC on the original is totally toasted? If it's only a few traces and didn't damage the actual LCD it may be fixable. Whatcha' gonna do wit it?

See ya Monday . . .

HI man
Sorry didnt reply sooner been sourcing some parts for the build .Jeez spent enough time looking around focus and b and q before the projector but now im sure i had a couple of plain clothes security guys watching me i took so long in there.lol.As i said i removed the polariser from the old screen iv soaked in hot water when removed and stll cant see any layer of anti glare .Seen Dazzlas video and if ur antiglare came off like that then im amazed.

The girlfriends right i have got a touch of a sledgehammer so it looks like i should have waited longer for the water to penetrate or the antiglare/polariser is actually one piece.From your photos of your lcd it looks the same as mine so im hoping i didnt leave it long enough.Do u think soaking it after its removed will separate the antiglare as i left it for 12 hours before.As i have the same lcd awaiting stripping id like to know what the score is with the old one before i attempt to do anything on the new one.Currently im using the old screen and board for making the new frames / checking size for the new enclosure.Its handy as i wont have to use my new one till the last stage so less chance of me messing it up.ha.Got a pro lens /reflector 400w ballast venture "slim" bulb and lots of other goodies.Decided on going vertical with light box and sourced various motors /servos for adjustment.Well sounds good lets home my rhino fingers dont mess anything else up Will get a camera sorted so i can show u how im doin
Thanx man

By the way the ffcs were toasted bigtime.Why or why was i born with hands a monkey could use better.

man.. i hope there are not too many youngsters reading this stuff... you're giving them ideas...

Well, I got an hour for Father's Day to work on my projector. Managed to rough-cut my panels.

I'm also going to switch to a 330 mm rear fresnel and pre-condenser.

First, a fawn pic. My son already has a girlfriend. Geez!

I was actually sent to the garage to clean up the mess leftover from building my son's "fort" but saw two mysterious "L's" scrawled in the sawdust so took that as a sign to steal an hour.

Now, when's the NEXT holiday???

More when more happens . . .

I see toys in the background!!!

I cant tell, Is that a Virago I see?

Not toys - headaches!!!

It's an Ascot. They're kinda rare as bikes go. 500 V-twin. I think they were only in production one or two years. My wife actually saw it on the floor as a leftover at a good price and suggested I buy it. We used to have fewer responsibilities and soooooooooooooooo much free time.

The quad needs massive brake work and I have new shocks for the front. Speedo cable just went. Last winter a mouse took up residence in the snowmobile-like tranny/clutch box - it's an automatic - Polaris in fact. What a mess! Easy and rather cheap fix though. Ain't nuthin' gittin' in there no more. Everything is screened now.

So many toys, so little time.

One of my college room mates had an Ascot, but it was a single cylinder 500.

This past weekend I was digging out some ancient black walnut I intended to use with my enclosure. I'm up in the trusses of an outbuilding and smell something that sets my hackles a-risin'. (Sure, sure . . . make fun of me but I really can smell these things. Like a mouse but subtley different.) I gingerly begin removing 5/4" solid cherry planks to get to the black walnut underneath and behind them. You never know what's gonna come screaming out at you in my outbuildings. Anyway, I start to hear the hushed scrapings and know I'm getting close as the sweat starts dripping off my nose. It's hot under that metal roof. BINGO!!! Out comes a 6 foot or so black snake right at me. Knowing it was there didn't help. Still got a wicked chill up my spine. I deflected it gently and managed to get it to turn around but it just curled up in a ball on top of the planks I'd yet to remove. Stubborn bugger! The worst part is the planks aren't wide enough for my project and I don't even think I have enough left to glue them up into panels. I remembered too late I had used up some nice ones years ago to make a frame surrounding my father-in-law's fireplace. Ah well, I thought, the cherry will work. But no, it's not quite enough either. Might as well think of a way to use the plywood I already paid for. Back to the drawing board . . . :angry:

AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!
I get the willies just reading that.

Remdaddy and snakes do not get along.......at all.......ever.....ever.

I find it interesting though how folks are so dif about stuff... my brother will pick up snakes with his hands (negative for remdaddy ) but looks like a little girl if he see's a spider

I have a friend, Matt, who HATES snakes. One day I was working on replacing the broken Vbelt in my scirroco when he drove up with another friend, Ray. As he was walking towards the car I extracted the belt and tossed it on the ground next to the passenger door. Matt immediately freaks out, grabs a nearby rake and starts to pummel this defenseless piece of vbelt as hard as he could. He didnt even stop after he broke the rake head off. He just hunched up on it and switched to baseball bat mode.
It took Ray and I almost three minutes to get close enough to him to make him stop!

...and this was how I learned that Matt had a severe snake phobia...

When I was a kid I had a thing about spiders. I'm pretty much over that now. LOTS of people freak over snakes. I wonder why?

Once my wife came screaming into the kitchen. She was forking over the compost pile and speared a snake with the pitchfork. It was sad for the snake but really looked cool squirming there. Don't know whether it survived.

Here's what we typically see around the yard:

And yer basic black snake. This'n died of exposure after getting stuck in a garden fence.

It's a bit bigger than the one I uprooted the other day.

oh heck , thats a baby ...my son used to have a 12 foot python(I think it was a python, but we measured it at 12 feet anyway) , it was huge.... when the ex and the kids went on vacation I would stay and "babysit" my sons animals(assorted snakes and other reptiles and dogs and cats)it was in this huge cage in the bedroom, I swear you'd wake up in the middle of the night and it would just be staring at you...it got out of the cage one time and got loose in the house, fortunately they found it surled up in the corner underneath a dresser.... they got rid of it shortly after that.... they had a chihuahua that was just about the right size for dinner and after it got out that one time it was just too worrisome for them not to mention illegal.....

We've got one just like that in the yard Durachko. I named him Salazar after Salazar Slytherin (Harry Potter) whom I think was aptly named after Antonio Salazar dictator of Portugal back in the day.

Every time my dad and I feel like messing with my mom we just go out in the yard and pretend to be getting Salazar - she doesn't have the nerve to spear a snake.

I just smoked one(not to eat, i am veg but to chase him away)couple of weeks ago.

I was cleaning weeds and there it was. About 3 feet long. it was in the corner with brick walls around him. So there was no way to go but to come at me. I tried a stick to chase him off but wouldn't move. So I started small grass fire and he ran off in to neighbours yard....

I used to love to go blacksnake hunting when I was a kid. Get an old rake handle or something of that nature. Then a piece of rope and some eyehooks. the rope needs to be a little longer than the handle. Place an eyehook at the top of it and put the rope thru it and secure it well to the handle. put a couple of eyehooks in the side of the handle all the way to the base. Loop it back thru the eyehook on the top and run it down the the eyehooks to the base fo the handle and wala, one snake handling tool. Approch the snake slowly as so not to alarm him and then snag him quick. Another DIY project!

Last night I mowed my hay field (oh wait, that was my front lawn... all the damn rain we've been having here... uhhhh)... it was a showdown... Craftsman Lawn Tractor vs. The Garter Snake hiding amonst the hay grass... Never got out of the first round.... TKO by tractor in 5 seconds.

Score one for the good guys!!

When I lived in Kenya we used to have snakes in the house all the time. I think it was the third week I lived there my boss came out of the house one night with a 6 foot snake by the tail and chucks it into the yard. I, looking stunned said......."was that poisonous." He says, deadpan, "oh yeah, make ya go numb from the neck down."
Nice.

Gadget admit it,,,, you trashed the garden hose,,, have a look in da daylight hehehehehehe

... you don't know how close to the true you come with that statement ! ... garden hose is in the driveway for watering a couple of trees I planted a few weeks ago... and I did go over it with tractor... I was lucky it didn't pick up into the blades or something would have gotten broken... probably me!

Jeez,snakes,bears,you guys are making me jealous,all I get over here is the occasional hedgehog in the back garden,dont get me wrong,if you trod on one without your shoes on,it might sting a bit ( ) but that is about the most exciting wildlife I see,outside of a zoo!!!

Ooooo! come over here and stay at my house for a while. You will see deer, moose, ( cross between a deer and a belgian horse with a really bad temper...) the occasional bear, fisher cats, people in golf carts, senior citizens...

Yep, its the wild life or no life for me!

Okay, you asked for it. Was walking the dogs behind our house a coupla' weeks ago. The dogs sensed a bear. (Don't ask how I know. It's mostly experience though.) They lit out after it with me screaming wildly for them to stop. (Nah, they don't listen during the heat of the chase.) Seconds later here they come with their tails between their legs and an average sized MOMMA black bear right behind. My initial estimate of the bear's speed was roughly 99.999% the speed of light. Okay, I'd been through this before and just waited for the bear to stop it's "bluff" charge and turn around. It did. Tuck heart back down throat and go the other way after ascertaining whether sphincter control was maintained. The dogs are already calmed down and going the OTHER way. I hear another "CHUFF" from momma bear (there HAD to be cubs) and the sound of crashing brush. The hairs on the back of my neck don't simply stand up - they shoot out way beyond escape velocity and are just now passing Uranus. I spin and try to look big whilst willing my knees to stay locked. Here she comes . . . and there she goes. I've never been charged twice by the same bear (sometimes by the same clerk at the department store though) so this was a new sensation. Oh yeah, the dogs did come to my "rescue" albeit a bit late. The bear was already back into the thick cover when they came barking and charging past me. This time they must have sensed I meant it because they stopped their nonsense as soon as I yelled at them. Just another day in the woods behind the house. Now had pun15er been here he could have dropped that bear with a spin-kick. Just aim higher than for a hedgehog. The only reason I didn't scream and run was because there wasn't time.

Lol

My bro-in-law was stacking firewood at my house and saw a brown rabbit duck behind the wood pile. He thought he was going to be "cute" and chase the rabbit as it was only 20' away. When he rounded the pile he noticed the rabbit had actually been a bear. Apparently he only saw the back paw as it walked behind the wood pile. Needles to say he needed a new set of Hanes underwear. Funny seeing a 6' 2" guy scream like a little girl.

Hahahaa! When I was young ( about 9 or so), our neighbor had a very sizable blueberry patch and I had an open invite to pick as many as I liked. So one day I grab a bowl and head the bushes. Im picking for about an hour and I hear something moving through the bushes. So I turn around and see something black move between a few of the bushes. I figured it was one of our Newfoundland dogs who had come down to check on me. Clipper was big into "checking". So I stood up and walked over to the row I saw it go between and turned the corner, expecting to be greeted by big slobbery newfie kisses...
and ran smack into the ass end of a bear!

Apparently he was into the blueberries too...

Black bears dont get huge in VT, but they are still dangerous. It was mostly the surprise of running into him. He threw his head up and made this really funky sound as his head came around to see what had just hit him. It sounded like a cross between a sneeze and a bark. Normally bears wont come around the house because of the dogs, but I wasnt at my house.

Needless to say, young jack did not go grizzly adams on his behind.
The bear ran one way and I ran the other. The entire quarter mile back to my house. I didnt stop til I was at my room looking out my window which faced down the driveway. I was making damn sure he didnt follow.

I had such a great childhood!

Ah memories. One day a good number of years back we saw this little girl running into our yard with wide eyes and all out of breath. She's going "Bear, bear, bear! I saw a bear.". She calmed down quickly and we got her story. (Back then we had basically no neighbors.)

She was riding a 4 wheeler with friends just under 2 miles away in the woods. A bear crossed in front of her. She was last in line. She bailed off the 4 wheeler and ran to our house. I took her back to her 4 wheeler in my truck and there were her friends looking around her ride totally stymied as to where she was.

She said she ran the whole way. She was on the track team.

I read that wrong at first, and I thought there were some strange sort of genetic experiments going on and you had freakish rodent-bird hybrids around your house.

...just for a second though.

My friends and I were playing poker last week when a big "Hairless Yettie" came running around the corner to take a leak and fell in a hole ............wait a minute that's no "Yettie" that's Rem

I the infamous words of Hardee's "If you gonna go. Go all out!!"

Psst . . . Rem. That's bear not bare!

Sooooooo....Durachko?
Does your hot tub have a lock on the lid?

Yep.

That may have been the elusive Quijibo!

Bears, ha, you ain’t seen nothing until you face to face with a 6’ grey Kangaroo with boxing alibility that’d put MikeT to shame.
And don’t get me started on those vindictive Koalas. That cuddly fluffy appearance is only propaganda to keep the tourists coming, nasty little beasties these ones. They Look so delightful and harmless, but don’t let that fool you, it’s part of their cunning ploy to get you close enough. Yes koalas are man-eaters, in their attack mode they pounce straight for the jugular using their razor sharp talons. It’s not uncommon to see a koala take down a fully groan elephant with one swipe.

And dont forget our killer Wabbits too!!!!!

I miss out on all the excitement, all I get here is deer, coyotes, fox, racoons, and the occasional fish jumping out by my pier.

Btw, get anything done on your pj???

I prefer such wildlife to a lot of humans I know. I'd love to live really, really near some water big enough to do some wakeboarding on. But living that close to big water can also present some problems. I'm only 15 minutes from my dry dock as is so it's not too bad.

Thanks for asking about my projector. I may have a problem.

Returned from 4th of July holiday and this morning while getting ready for work I caught something amiss in the basement out of the corner of my eye.

The 3-legged antique table (slated for the bonfire) upon which my LCD sled and assembled fresnel holder were resting snapped and dumped everything onto the concrete basement floor!!!

Nothing appears to be broken but I've still gotta test the LCD. It was jostled pretty badly and knocked out of the frame. FFC's appeared okay after a very quick visual inspection.

I've done nothing but think about further cutting of my enclosure panels.

It'll happen . . . someday.

OH NO, I bet you been thinking about your panel all day, gonna test it?

Oh yeah. I'm betting it'll be fine. Should be able to give her a quick check tonight. Been too busy catching up at work to worry about it. Fiscal year ended June and that means I wasn't able to order supplies for the past two weeks for fear of the secretarial staff lynching me. Those financial people just hate unreconciled invoices.

Oh Man. I would have called in sick. It would have been like some bad scene out of General Hospital...Scalpel!, Forceps!...Soldering gun!

Rabbits and bears and snakes. At least you don't spend your nights with one eye open praying against the tortured screams of the noctunal maneating possum, o'my. Don't have to worry much about open casket if you tangle with one of these.

We used to have a three-legged possum living under a big rock about thirty feet from our kitchen door. It'd come out at night and dig into the compost pile and snitch any leftover birdseed that had fallen to the ground. I have a movie of it somewhere. Figure it must've lost one leg in a trap. Had a dog blunder into a trap once. All okay in the end. It's the rabid racoons that drive me nuts.
