Should I sand jogwheels?
Should I sand jogwheels? Posted on: 18.02.2010 by Mac Fly A while ago I purchased the overlay and black knobs and faders for my VCI 100 SE. So to keep the black color scheme going I spray painted the jog wheels black, then later put stickers on them. I didn't like the look of the stickers so I took them off and the paint job looked kind of sketchy. Now they just look totally bad on the eyes. Basically I want to repaint them. But I was believeing that maybe it would be to thick so I would lose my touch sensitivity. So should I sand them down and then repaint? Would sanding them jepordize my touch sensitivity? Whats the best way to start fresh and have a nice looking set of jogs? Thanks | |

| Diogo Dj Dragão 19.02.2010 | The jogs are absolutely capacitive touch, which means that they detect touch using electricity - not pressure. You can sand the disc down no problem. But painting it will be a different matter. You need to make sure that whatever paint you choose is conductive enough to still allow the platter to work properly. |
| Mac Fly 19.02.2010 | hummm. I dont want to totally f them tho, I would like to be 100 percent certain. |
| Vernon Vanderberg 18.02.2010 | the vci touch sensors actually function with conductivity so, paint does have a chance of effecting the sensitivity. sanding them shouldn't cause any damage |
| Roselle Mcnaul 18.02.2010 | I'm fairly certain that the touch sensitivity is based on pressure, not any conductive contact per'se. I've never sanded the jog wheels though to test this out, so take what I say with a grain of salt lol. |
