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 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!!!

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!)

[the other .01% are just really stubborn or stupid]

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!! laugh.gif
