kobblers Posted September 29, 2024 Report Share Posted September 29, 2024 Great workmanship and a credit to the industry. How did you get the colour and shine back on these, as the original finish looked glossy, so I'm assuming you ccouldn't just polish over it? https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=122172296714171861&set=pcb.122172296792171861 Rick.

Jontheshoe Posted September 29, 2024 Report Share Posted September 29, 2024 Just out of interest how do you strip the old Dubarry units off , we do a few pairs and they can be a pain to strip down when the originals are perishing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.B Salisbury Posted September 29, 2024 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2024 Thank you so much for the amazing compliment. With dubarry I usually cut most of it off with a knife , then I go around the edges gently with the breaster cone . Works well for me kobblers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
