Last night was my first attempted in applying silicone on vellum using a cradle caulk gun (never used before). I cut the tip of the silicone tube with a 2.5mm diameter opening (realized that I needed to cut deeper into the tube tip), placed the tube in the cradle, and started to trigger away. Nothing was coming out and thought front portion of tube must be filled with air so I kept at it. Spine of gun was half way in but no silicone but I could smell the sharp and unpleasant odor, as tinkerman pointed out in his experience with the stuff. Pulled spine and silicone backfired out from rear. Got it all over my hands and gun. Dumped a glob of it in a container with xylol, washed my hands, mixed the two ingredients, applied it to the vellum, and went through the motions tinkerman did on his video.
Modified PS3 camera, loosely placed ir led ribbon on sides of acrylic, and realized Alex’s driver didn’t work for me on my tablet. Went to Circuit City, bought PS3 console, plugged in camera, opened start new chat option, and tested. Saw blobs, was satisfied, went to sleep.
Note: PS3 camera image is very unclear (played with the focus on the camera too but still looks unfocused/blurred). Don’t know if it’s normally like that because I took out the ir filter before trying to make it work with the PC with Alex’s driver and test.
Rosco resellers closed on Sunday. Must wait until Monday to purchase. I’ll contact Motion Computing to get my hands on some of their View Anywhere solution and see if it can’t be applied to to MT.

Going to purchase more silicone and other types of diffusers to test.
Will also firmly attach LED ribbons in to frame and acrylic.
Don’t like dealing to much with silicone myself. Going to order custom silicone sheets with texture to obtain similar characteristics as JH’s (Jeff Han) MT. Will send samples to key nui members like tinkerman.
