Well I'm back from UK, Kyle is still plugging away on stainless polishing and repairs..
Here's just a few of the implements used. And I must stress, this is not an 18 ga panel, with stainless trim we use light taps for everything.
Here's a piece of Delrin that was cut out and filed to match the bottom side of the door trim to act as a soft "anvil".
Then a spoon is used to bump.... LIGHTLY
Many ways of bringing up low spots, here are just a couple of the tools used...
This is a roller tool used for installing the "beading" to hold in screen material. The roller has been flattened from the original version, which had a hollow in the middle. A 3" roloc sander held just right will get the wheel spinning while sanding it flat..
In many cases you'll bump the highs down, roll the lows out, and check your progress using the fluorescent light tube reflections, and repeat. It is not likely this is a one and done process.
Another tool that can sneak in behind flanges.
Also used some dry sanding with the durablock, here using 500 then 1200 paper.
Then followed with the Trizact 1500, then 3000. Then it should be ready for the buffer..
