Re: Slot lovers unite!

I have started restoring mine, turned out really well just a PITA and very time consuming.

Started with 200grit wet worked upto 2000 grit wet.. trick was to keep the wheel wet at all times, after the pitting/burrs were removed and sanded out smooth, hit them with 2 different polishing compounds, after letting them sit for 2weeks (dry/moisture free) I took them in and had them coated properly.

I will try and get pictures , don't have a digital camera.. maybe its time to get with the age of technology.. lol.

200? I'm a little scared that will be too harsh. I guess if you're working up to 2000 it will take out any scratches you put in with 200.

Meh, we're talking about slots here, technology is overrated. Pics would be nice though
