Hello everyone!
I'm starting this topic to document my build and hopefully in so doing, contribute to the body of knowledge already here which I have benefited greatly from.
On Monday, I reached home and was greeted by the sight of this:
An NX-Studio kit, a pair of Double Trouble kits and some speaker cable. Seeing the mountain of boxes, I'm suddenly scared I've bitten off more than I can chew but am trying to put that fear aside. "Fear is the mindkiller" - Lady Jessica
To get a preview of what it might be like building the Double Troubles, I made this thing which is kind of like a mini-H frame.
I realised it's quite challenging to spray the inner faces so I might paint those faces prior to assembly and gluing.
I've also found that superglue is very good for sealing MDF edges so they can be sanded smooth to allow an almost-piano gloss black finish to be achieved. Note: Only the first photo of the mini-H frame has edges sealed by superglue. In the second photo I used Minwax sanding sealer on the edges but it didn't seem that effective.
Polyurethane spray
https://www.krylon.com/en/products/specialty/clear-polyurethane-coating?bvstate=pg:4/ct:q will be used to seal the faces of the MDF panels prior to applying the primer+paint spray
https://www.selffix.com/rust-oleum-2x-ultra-cover-spray/. Top coat will be a lacquer spray

Unfortunately living in an apartment in Singapore, I do not have a garage with air compressor and spray guns so it's all spray cans for me
