Someone on the forum said to use these sand/finish wheels. They work great and shine up the metal fast and easy but don’t fit the inside corner. Maybe I’ll try the evapo rust method. Thanks for posting your process and pvc tube

It ends up leaving sanding marks in the finish which is unattractive to me.
On the other hand, that wheel is exceptional for cleaning up stainless steel parts like lockdown bars and side rails. I have a few around for just that purpose and the lockdown bar and top edge of the side rails of every EM game that comes through gets treated with it. It effectively regrains stainless steel.
Ah, sure understood. This was my first time and I think I did see the legs were plated. It’s been a learning experience. I’ll do the evapo to the legs and wheel to the other parts. Need to do the side rails on. Joker poker
