Members jenksdrummer Posted January 1, 2008 Members Share Posted January 1, 2008 Not sure how I've managed to do it, but I've managed to put a couple of small (less than .5mm) dents on my bearing edges for my 10" tom on my M-Birch kit. I know there's not a chance in hell I can get them out, so I'm curious if this could have any effect. I doubt it, since it's so small, but, even then, how would this be fixed?

Members 1001gear Posted January 1, 2008 Members Share Posted January 1, 2008 If you use two ply heads, they (the heads) wont even notice. In fact, unless you have jagged edges creating a puncture hazard, most dings will get absorbed into the slop factor. I have a five lug mystery kit from some unknown Asian galaxy. The things had seriously uneven edges. Having nothing to lose, I built them up with engine epoxy. The stuff dries very hard and is easily sanded. End of anecdote. You could use wood filler but .5mm sounds like you'd have to cut a gap just to have something to fill. Post a photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pics will be nearly impossible, and I use 2-ply batters, so I'm not worried about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
