Easy moddin' - luvin' it.

I love JB-Weld. Its like using screws, but when you don't have power tools.

I just got some castors for my box. Swivel type up front and standard fixed in the rear. JB-Weld's Kwick stuff; its an epoxy type glue that sets in 4 mins and cures in 4 hours. Its a piece of cake; just mix on an index card and use a plastic knife to spread onto the castors. Place them in place and hold for a couple of seconds. Then walk away and come back in 4 hours and you've got a STRONG bond.

I used the Kwick because I don't need it to hold 1-TON of weight. This stuff can hold a few hundred pounds each, so it works great.

Now I got wheels on my case, and there is room underneath like I wanted. (I've got the Enlight case that you have to get your fingers underneath to pull the front bezel off just to get the side panels off.) I'm happy.

Now....to work on a swing-out door.

I love this JB-Weld stuff.

Whoops. Meant to say:

I don't have a digital camera, so I don't have any pictures. I don't know when I'll get any, so don't expect much.

I've still got to get a cutout and paint. When that's all done, I'll get pictures of it all.

JB weld is great, in it's place. The main problem I have found is that it is too flexible when cured, and desn't stick well to some surfaces.

The only other problem is looks, make sure you don't use it where you'll see it, becasue it is hard to get off.

Besides those negatives, it is God's gift to the modder!

Agreed. Must use it only on bottom of case. For attaching wheels to your case when you live in an apartment and have no power tools, its the perfect solution.
