You use carborundum powder , or fine carborundum grade paper . Plate glass is optically flat , which means its great for levelling carby joints/faces and many other uses too , the thick stuff is the best 1/4" or more .
The Morris engines - Dave's looks better than new . Watch out for the oil leaks Dave , it's British . The tree frog green is eye catching .
