Riding my '38 Deluxe Bluebird
Work continues on the restoration of the '39 Monark SK 26x, with major props to John A. who repaired the frame beautifully.
So, onto the sanding/polishing. Tho' I have hand polished a few aluminum frames in the past (thx for the SmithBrite 2 @pedal_junky) and done some light sanding, this one is going to require a much deeper sanding, with a lot more polishing- it was a farm bike, picture gravel roads and a damp barn....
Any tips? Orbital electric sander? Grits of sandpaper? Recommended products, compounds?
Thanks!
