Just thought I'd share ![]() Williams: ![]() I picked this up a couple of weeks back & it was originally painted glosss black...We all know paint isn't a good finish for wrenches & most of it was missing so there was surface rust all over. It went in the blasting cabinet for glass beading & then came about 15-20 minutes of blowtorch/dip it in some oil/blow torch/dip it in some oil. Put it on the stove top to cool down, then wiped it off with a soft cloth followed up with some Pledge. It's for use (in my case) on aircraft undercarts. P51/T6/Stearman etc. This came from the machine shop whose owner died recently & I think that owing to how his tools were used on vintage WWII aircraft over the years by him that they carry on doing that job with me. |
