OK, I just finished my 1st cross over ever. Could somebody take a look at it and see if it looks OK before I start the next one? And any comments such as "that's not the worse solder job I've ever seen" would make me feel a little better too. I'll be ordering some of the quad stuff from Solen ASAP, as this silver stuff is pretty hard for a noob like me to work with.
Also, I finished veneering my cabinets yesterday (1st time veneer job) using the PVA/Iron on method. They looked great when I was done but when I went out to my garage tonight, there was a couple of nice bubbles on 4 of the surfaces. I turned up the heat on the iron almost to the max and it all laid down good again. Other than the fact that these were left outside in a cold, damp garage over night, could it have just been that I didn't use enough heat the 1st time? I rolled on 2 coats of glue on the cabinets and 1 on the paper back veneer, so I'm pretty sure I have enough glue. I'll be pretty bummed if I go out there again tomorrow and the same thing has happened.
