Calling out to Weezard for LED advice

[Weezard]

What about removing leds?

With the molecular adhesion of a guage block, it's easy, just slide 'em off sideways.

That freakin' epoxy is about 100 times stronger than it needs to be for attaching leds. I've seen it suggested that freezing your assembled unit down to cryogenic levels, then judiciously applying a small, water-backed charge of high explosive "might" help you get 'em off. All I want is that they don't leap off the light to a fiery death. I have too much blood on my hands already.

Also saw it suggested to mix thermal grease in with the epoxy to weaken the bond. That just seems wrong. Like pouring beer into a Manhattan.

If no fit, put spit

I'm thinking of deliberately mis-mixing the epoxy. The thermal conductance shouldn't be much different. (?) Thinkin' of practicing with washers / pennies / etc. when I get a spare ms. Have you tried this already?

With epoxied leds?
Mo' betta, jus' leave 'em be.
Glue on da new one, side by side.
Leave da fried guys on as a warning for shirkers.

Hello-o, Lazy guy here!
Yer just nevah gonna catch me workin' dat hard.

What ya can't wipe off, paint over, ya?
Wee lazy Zard

Dang, Weezard. You got puffy sleeves for all dem tricks!

From Wikipedia:

The detailed physics responsible for this phenomenon remains unclear.

Holy crap!! Magic! I thought you were talking about hand-lapping to dead true and then using glue. You gonna stick 'em on with frickin' voodoo. Cheater! (Quite the insult from someone with my scruples at chess. )

Yep, that's what I did.
I was talkin' about attaching future, new, non-blown leds that I might wanna move (and have them survive relocation) someday.

Molecular adhesion. Sounds like a bonfire waiting to happen, and I oughtta know! :wtf: Look out! Hermie seems exciteable today!

Um, like a shrunken head on a spear kinda thing. 'Scuse please, gotta check my email.

And my chicken bones. :lol5::lol5:

No worry, I got more dan enough scruples of my own.
Always trippin' over 'em.

Yes I did notice that you ignored my knight's move.
Was kinda waiting for you to catch that.
Then, just when I decided to let it slide as a handicap, you effectively typed CLUNK! and da board went tits up.
Just as well. If you don't have a deep love for da game, you were only humoring me to play at all.
I do appreciate it.:1baa:
If you manage a visit to the island, I'll be tickled to sit down and reveal the intricate beauty of da game.
Then you gonna be trolling for worthy opponents too.

Unlax, DH.
Just 'cause there's magic afoot, don't mean I'll put forth the effort needed to invoke it.
It's gonna be "gloss n glue" fo' dis one.

Just one more case where "half assed is MORE than good enough" (Our state motto)

Thanks for them fish.

Duh. I just missed it. I was reading yer werds. An' waitin' for a move you already made. I thought you were busy wiping fingerprints off cyberdoorknobs.

I can unclunk the board. It's just a jpeg, after all...

If you don't have a deep love for da game, you were only humoring me

I just don't know the game. I don't know Morgan Fairchild, either. But I think I could love her if I did. :thumbsup:

From Wikipedia:

"The Pathological Liar is a character created and portrayed by Jon Lovitz, often appearing on Weekend Update segments - and other sketches - to share his farcical views. The character's name was actually Tommy Flanagan (pronounced [flə-'nā-gən], not to be confused with the jazz pianist), and he would tell outrageous whoppers in an effort to make himself seem important (such as his claim that he invented Rock and Roll). One recurring lie was claiming he was married to Morgan Fairchild. His devious look, hand rubbing and nervous speech made it clear he was making up lies, one after the other, on the spot. And if he came up with a particularly good lie he would add the catchphrase: "Yeahhh! That's the ticket!""

Sorry, Frosty. She says she doesn't remember ya! :hippy:

[Weezard]

Me, she remembers.:thumbsup:
With a permanent TRO

Yeah!
