When I received the objective cell parts that were fabricated by Eric
Moerman, they looked so good that I did not want remove their
beautiful aluminum sheen. But, if I wanted a telescope to deliver the
best contrast, I had to get rid of the shine. This meant that I had to
buff all surfaces of the front lens cell to flock it. To minimize the
damage to the cell components, I used a Scotch-Brite pad to just
create a matte finish to the piece. This proved sufficient in
generating a surface that could easily be primed in preparation for
flocking with the illustrious Rustoleum Camouflage flat black spray
enamel paint. Please note that I will not be painting the threads
milled in the front lens cell for obvious reasons I hope are
understood. |
