So the non-industrial smoothing can actually lead to something- mostly more smoothing. In this episode I have been sanding panels and other assorted bits and finally this has lead to some epoxy primer being applied to those same bits. I used a quart of primer all told which is less than I would have guessed but apparently there is more surface area than I thought. At least there is some seal now on some of the bare metal against the humidity.In other news, I did a little online searching and found an address for what I thought might be my chromer. There were a lot of people with the same name and I found two people, one a junior,(the father and son worked together) who were living at the same location. So I showed up there Saturday morning and the guess was right. So I got all of my missing chrome pieces back. They are obviously not done but now they are not missing and they can be used to check the panel fit.
