Ok bought a set of cookies....they were gold when I got them and not done well..
Got the bright idea to strip and polish them (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif) Now I don't even need them!!! What will sell better????? natural centers slighty polished or bring the centers back to black???? What would a set of cookies go polished???? not finished yet, but If i paint them I just continue to clean up the lips and the rims... Took this on as a learning expirence, I learned, next time I send them out!!! Attached image(s)

whats it take.... ha.... polishing wheels is friggin hard work. 99.9% of the people that try it realize when they are done that they will NEVER try it again, and that it is NOT worth it.... so for 99.9%, "what it takes" is Al Reed's current rate. the other .01% are just really stubborn or stupid. (we just have 3 more to go to finish our polish job!) brant |

I've got the 1% covered on both parts And yes they are 7's... bought those to go with the 8 in revs I got at a good price...was going HSR 3k 15x 7&8's.... then ended up with two nice sets of Fuchs!! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) |
