^^ THAT, is nice!!

Iv not experienced lacquering 3m di-nic myself either, but that is what iv seen/heard on various forums.

Since doing mine, iv now got a button that doesn't work!!  :sad1: Took it out again this morning and reassembled it carefully, but still nothing. I have no idea what i could have done to stop that from working! Its on the 'star' button, but going to get very annoying :(

I've seen some chrome ones which were likely aftermarket and only on the non MFSW.

^^^^ Try using 3M or the 3M Di-Noc. Can be bought from eBay in any size you want. Take your time, don't stretch it too much or overheat it and it will be fine. I use the wifey's hair dryer instead of a heat gun and it works a treat.

As above, 3M di-noc is the stuff to use!

I bought quite a big bit, happy to cut a bit off if you want..?
