Thread: A ? or 2 on Evapo-Rust.

I was getting vastly diminishing returns with the 2k paper. So I broke down & got some 1k in the same brand & type. I got some results that way. Started using a drop or two of SRD razor oil while I sanded; using my index finger in instead of a cork. (On a related note: need to add a decent bottle of wine to my "razor restores" shopping list!)

I probably spent about an hour working it with the 1k, avoiding the etch for the most part. I also left one side of the tail alone since the last dip, to give an idea of the greying.

Pics.

Note: the very grey tail.


"I wasn't ready for my close-up!"


A few of the spots got lighter, so... that's better?


"No wake zone!"


Ugh. I was trying the gentle route, but it looks worse in some respects than when I got it . Any thoughts or suggestions?
