It just hit me ur supposed to be able to take apart your water blocks to be able to clean them or at least for the manufacturer to do so. That means I can plasti dip the CPU block when I get more plasti dip. I was also inspired by a YouTube video to plast

I realized a but late again that I have to cut some more of the panel off the gonna have to clean and re dip the piece since the fans need to fit under the three tabs in the pic... At least the side panel with the window is almost ready to cure.

Gave it a quick rinse after I went at it some more with the aluminum grinding bit so it wouldn't be as sharp and would look better so here's a few more pics before I start prepping and applying plasti dip again
