Title: Screwdriver polishing thread
Post by: HeelSpur on August 29, 2013, 04:42:21 PM
Anybody remember the thread where someone showed how to clean and polish plastic screwdriver handles?
Can't remember if it was here or over at GJ.

It was Gary - "lauver" - on how to save his prized vintage yellow-handled Protos.

It's certainly at the GG, maybe here & the GJ too!

Hey, Gary does it by hand!
I showed him how to start with, but he took that and ran with it.
He figured out how to polish by hand so you don't even need any equipment. They look gorgeous too. It just takes a little longer. 
 
I am lazy. I will only polish by hand for so long. 
And then I go to a buffing wheel...........  heeheheheh
    yours Scott
