Glenn, I have a 50s machine that the finish has yellowed extremely, will the french polish lighten this up some or is there another method for this. It is a blue machine that is now green because of the yellowing. I thought at first like some of my other machines it was just oil and soaked it good with the hand cleaner I like to use that usually works and have used on other machines but it did not come off except with a wet sand like you would do to a car finish clear coat. I tried it in a spot only. Thanks for any help you can give me. L

Try a little Dawn and see if it gets some of the yellow out but usually once it is yellow it will stay yellow.

Thanks Glenn. I tried dawn already the only thing takes it off so far is a wet sand. It is a lot of work to wet sand when your hands are not what they used to be and visited by Arthur Itis. I guess if that is my choice I will go with it. Thanks again for trying to help!

How did you repair the stickers?
|
There were only a few decals and I avoided them as much as I could, I made stencils of the decals in paper and then taped over them to protect what I could. It did not turn out too bad, but still had some yellowed places that looked more green than blue. The bed looked nice however. Sometimes you sacrifice a machine to learning, that is why you don't do it on anything but a machine that needs more tlc than you can give it.

Glenn, what the heck is Plast Buster, where do we get it and exactly what is it for?
I think that he meant PB Blaster, not Plat Buster. PB Blaster is probably, IMHO, the pest penetrating oil on the market for loosening rusty bolts/parts. PB Blaster is available at most auto parts stores, Amazon and even WallyWorld(Walmart).https://www.quiltingboard.com/blob:h...f-42a616b9ee34 |
Yes it is PB Blaster, I just call it Plast Buster and yes the best penetratng oil ever. I could clean old machines without it.
I get mine at Wal Mart. |
Skip...
could clean |
I could not clean old machines without it. Sorry Maria....
