You can thin the silicone, aka RTV (room temp vulcanizing) sealer, with naptha as well. I worked on a missile in the USAF that had a silicone over coat and the markings were thinned RTV and a pigment. You can then store the roller in a container of naptha and roll it out on papers before you reuse it. Xylol and Xylene are too flammable and also evap a lot quicker but they have no oily residues like thinner or naptha can have.
I have been looking into making a touch screen. I heard you say the paper was from Akron? I am in Akron shoot me an email if you are too. I would realy like to talk to you about a few things. ThatDamnGuy@aol.com
Please answer my question, what is an acrylic? is it a normal glass that u use for windows or something. can I use a normal glass instead of acrylic? then do we need to cover both up and down layer of the acrylic with silicone? if we only cover one layer. which side will the silicone face, will it face the LEDS or facing up?
@Laxxongenz Acrylic is a sheet of plastic. It's like glass but cheaper and more durable plus it allows IR light to pass through it. And you don't cover the acrylic with silicone you cover the vellum which is acting like a screen. The vellum then lays on the acrylic. The silicone should be facing the ground so when you touch it the layer of silicone disturbs the IR light and shines it toward the camera. Please ask if you have anymore questions I would love to Help!
Now I get it, so basically after u build all the table with the webcam below, it will detect any disturbance of the led ray. what the data projector does is reflecting ur pc screen, and in instant when u touch the table it will be like a touch screen cuz of the projector. without a projector it'll be just like a touch pad. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
@hc3500 Thank you for the feedback. I understand the video was fuzzy but it was one of my first videos... just for future reference what did you not like about this video so i can change that in the future.
