Tablet mounts in car sold off shelf are usually not flushed or bulky or flimsy or all of the above. Here’s a simple guide to make a flushed In Car Tablet Mount. It’s cheap, easy and looked quite flushed for under RM 5.00. Pictures and guides follows…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Items\u00a0needed:
\n– Wiring Duct
\n– Hack Saw
\n– Sharpie
\n– Sand Paper
\n– Paint
\n– Epoxy Glue
\n– Masking tape\/electrical tape
\n– Foam Tape<\/span><\/p>\n

– Measure the total length of the area you want to cover your tablet\u00a0with (i.e. the two sides and bottom) then cut the piece to length<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

– measure the bends and mark them again (i.e. where the duct should bend 90 degrees)
\n– When measuring, ensure you do not block the charger.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

– Measure the depth of the wiring duct (in this case 1cm) and mark AFTER the first marking you made for the measurements to make space for the 90 degree bend<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

– Carefully flex the duct so it moves freely. Use a lighter to warm the duct up to get it to cooperate.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

– make a 90 degree bend and press it down as hard as you can.
\n– check for large gaps on one side, if yes, you may have to do it again.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

– Apply the epoxy mixture to the joints as smoothly as you can. this is to reduce the time taken to sand it down.
\n– Leave the epoxy to cure for at least 24 hours
\nNote:
\n– Dry = dries on the outside but is still soft on the inside usually you will get 5-10% adhesive strength
\n– Cure = inside and out is hardened and ready for use.
\n– Please do note that due to the high humidity of our country, although the instructions on the label of the epoxy says it will be cured in 8 hours, leave it at least 12 to 24 hours.<\/p>\n

Flushed mount, done.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A minor touch to make it neat. A little cable management clip to securely and neatly keep the charging cables away.<\/p>\n

And you are done! Happy DIYing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
