Anybody know where to get the tools + compound locally. Has anybody on here had a go at it
Where is local,McQuillans tools in Capel street Dublin. Halfords shops carry them also. :)
Don't forget that McQuillans give 10% discount to full NHC members! Well worth the €10 joining fee!
I got some Bar Keepers Friend stainless steel cleaner powder brought over from the states and it does a nice job of cleaning and shining my cornys without the work.
Not a mirror finish though like what you are planning.
I had a go at polishing a beer keg with a kit from Halfords. Don't start unless you have a lot of free time on your hands. I spent a day just getting through the first two polishes, rough and medium. After that I thought it'll do rightly. Hands were vibrating for a day after. Look into bead blasting or something like that if you really want it.
I see the yanks use gator grit pads and grinders to do theirs. Is there an equivalent type of product to be got here. I would be very convenient if i could stick something on the grinder to buff them up
Motor factors shops have everething what you need for polishing.
Bring it to a panel beater and get him to compound it like they do with car bodywork ???
