Big Guns backbox stuff
Cleaned both sides of this board in the backbox, removed all bulbs, cleaned bulb sockets, and gathered all the pieces of the King’s Chamber for reassembly.

Filling cupped inserts
Filled up all the Space Mission inserts with automotive clear. I think I pooled it up too much in some places and not enough in others. Next step is a full coat of clear.
