Default RE: 1st Part Covered ( Go IU ! )

Thanks for the color change suggestions guys, but I think I'll stick with IU. I won't even mention they're ranked #1 in the pre-season polls. Oops, looks like I just did.. Dang It !..Haha.. I know pre-season doesn't mean much, but after the previous coaches afterBobby Knight left, it's nice to see Coach Crean has put together a squad worth watching again... I almost didn't make it through the Mike Davis and Calvin Sampson years. They almost ruined the program.

Back to my trainer, I realized that the covering process is the hardest part of the whole build.. I cut my own letters out of Ultracote. That took forever. I used a graphics program to mirror the text and print it out.. I then took the printed text and used watered down Elmer's glue to glue it to the backing of the Ultracote. I'm not sure which is the correct side to cut through, but the back seems like it grips straight edges etc a little better and like I said I could glue my paper to it, so I been cutting through the back.. I know they're not perfect, but hey it's my 1st try, so I'm satisfied with them.<br type="_moz" />
