Marc Sova Posted August 19, 2024 Posted August 19, 2024 Managed to get a lot accomplished on the “old ivory” 75046 from the Palmer House in Chicago. Blades are going to take a lot more work. I kind of scratched them a bit using 0000 steel wool. I hope I didn’t ruin them. Might have to ship this off to someone. I was about 80% sure I was going to paint them but after seeing it like this I’m thinking maybe polished! IMG_6025.mov IMG_5899.mov 1 Quote

Patrick Ray Posted August 19, 2024 Posted August 19, 2024 Looking good! Those scratches should come out on a buffing wheel. 2 Quote
Lane Shirey Posted August 19, 2024 Posted August 19, 2024 Wet sand them with 1000 then 2000 grit. Then hand or machine polish. Make sure the scratches are gone before going to the 2000 grit. 1 Quote
