Coating on Voyager bezels?

[tppytel]

Thanks for the advice and link, Mark. I will consider your experience, knowing that you also know how hard it is not to tinker. Certainly I'll steer clear of any abrasives or anything with strong adhesives or solvents. However, I really do feel like that acrylic varnish should be close to risk-free as far as removal - it's designed to go on top of acrylic paints, so there are no solvents or volatile chemicals in there.

Did you ever coat that bezel you stripped? Or did you leave it naked? And does the bezel not come off separately if you disassemble the unit? It looks like you did a super-careful masking job and left everything in place.

The 10C is doing just fine and sitting right next to me, though I don't use it as much as I'd like. Due to the value of the unit, I do keep it at home where I don't need an RPN calc too often. Too much stupid kid stuff can happen in a HS classroom. I have a DM11L there that I use for quick numerical calculations. But then I'm most often doing some kind of graphing/solving work for my classes, so I'm usually using my Prime instead of a Voyager. I recently did a lengthy side gig for an extracurricular math group I work with and decided to throw that money at a DM42, so I'll have one of those kicking around soon too.

Glad to hear the 15C is treating you well!
