Step 7Install the circuit board
As discussed in the last step, the "Volume" and "Tone" knobs connect to the circuit board from the outside. With the rubber gloves in place, this is actually a very tight fit. Once installed, the circuit board pretty much stays in place.
With my trusty E-6000 epoxy in hand, I glued one side of the board to the wall of the container, and also cut out a couple of dowel struts to support the other side of the board (see pics below). Your own project may not be quite the same, but I recommend securing the circuit board firmly in place.
The power switch on the circuit board is the push in click in, push in click out type. The semitransparent rubber button I harvested from an old printer was hollow, and it fit a mini sized glue stick perfectly. I cut the gluestick to just the right length to operate the board switch and epoxied the button onto the outside, further sealing it with some silicone.
At this point I also taped off the outside of the power button in preparation for the next step.
