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.
Been out of contact for a while, but looks like progress is being made. Who is doing your chroming work?
ReplyDeleteWe're out in your neck of the woods right now - in Montreal for the Festival du Jazz, though are flying in and out of Boston...
Well, if my current chromer gets back into business, I may still use him. He does good work. If not him, I don't know. Any suggestions?
ReplyDeleteI thought that was you flying over. Did you see me wave?
Ah, so that was you!
ReplyDeleteYeah, you can tell by the bald spot.
ReplyDeleteI should've stopped by so we could compare baldspots.
