Rust on a C-Mon
Hey fellas, quick question! I just won a nice C-Mon on the bay for $18 after shipping. It has ugly scales so I'm going to put these beautiful ornate Carl Monkhouse scales I received from a member here at the forum. Is there any way to go about removing the rust with out actually needing to sand? I don't have a buffer either.. any expert advice is appreciated!

No, there is no other way. You might consider sending it out to someone with the requisite skill and tools. A friend of mine said it might take him 10 hours of sanding in progressive grits before he took a blade to the buffers.
Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

Do a search in 'workshop' and look in SRP libraries, formerly known as the SRP Wiki, for restore tutorials. Bruno had one that showed how to make a sanding fixture out of wood to keep from cutting your hands. Also be very careful with those new scales. If you're not experienced at repinning blades to scales. There are tutorials about that as well. Might do to practice with junk scales if you have any. They crack if you go too strong with the hammer.

Thanked: 23How about those rust converter solution? I have read some people used it before. Does it work? And is it good for the blade?
