Just the top. I would be terrified to try the sides!

That wiring is stellar! Whole thing looks great. I was a big Evel fan too. What is the Rain x trick? I have effed up so much enviro with drilling and tightening nuts.

It's I think a recent addition to Juan & Cleggy's tutorial. After the resin is well cured, apply Rain-X like you would a windshield. The idea is that it will fill any microscopic pores in the finish and keep drilling dust from clouding the finish. I have never tried it without rain-x, so I don't know if it worked or not, but the finish came out flawless.

I did get the tiniest bit of lift around the holes, but it closed up when I tightened the hardware down. Again, I didn't use Envirotex because I was researching jeweler's resin and everyone kept saying ICE resin is the best in terms of how it flows and "domes." I had also read comments that it is less likely to yellow over time. I have no idea if any of that is true, as it was all anecdotal, but with a white enclosure, I wanted the clearest finish possible with no yellowing over time.
Thanks!

OK, I'm super flattered by all the positive response to the wiring on this one. I'll try to post a thread soon in member projects and tutorials to show how I got the wires so straight. You'll see that it's something anyone can do!
