Looks like light vacuum, clean dry, clean wet, clean again with HD wet stuff, and prime with shellac-based (not synthetic or oil) primer.

Of course you may have already got this, but just in case 😁

The shellac as a base I hadn't heard of before but it makes sense!
I'll get back to that part eventually I guess but it isn't critical for function of course, so  :dunno

I was up too late playing games last night so I'm a bit foggy today.

bobbyb13:
The time this has been taking is making me nuts.
Waiting for paint to dry is irritating as it is (worse if you live somewhere that the humidity has been no lower than 80% for a while now?!) but the 60 hr work weeks have been beating me up.

The GOOD thing about this taking soooo damn long is that I have been forced to be more patient with the whole process than I otherwise would have been I suppose, and now that I am seeing the results of having actually taking that time I can see that a good end with this process requires serious patience.

And plenty of masking tape, a new razor blade and tweezers.

However...



This stuff looks badass when you're done with it.
Need to paint the other side (hopefully tomorrow?!) and then I'm finally ready to start swapping parts over and getting a bunch of space in the shop back.

Main box is looking fantastic! Looking forward to seeing more of this as it's completed.

I used to have a Gottlieb Bronco and can sympathize with the smoke removal hell. Never got fully rid of it, but repeated cleanings and occasional spritzes of citrus odor remover got it tolerable enough to live in the corner of my old shop without a refinish.

Slightly altered title just to see if the licensing bots go away
