Otter LRC CM4647296 comes home

[Jordan Baker]

I also made some progress on some larger parts. I’ve been mulling on what to do as I’ve enjoyed doing most of the work myself and experimenting with some chemistry. The critic acid bath and also the lye solution bath. However my set up although great for most parts was not able to take on the larger stuff. I did consider buying and IBC 1000L tote. However I wasn’t keen on having that much acid solution around with younger kids. Although my son at 4 yrs old doesn’t go in the shop without me, I’m also not oblivious that one day he may just make it in there without me. I guess this was rather long winded to say……I sent the parts out to a sandblasting place yesterday afternoon. This morning I got a text msg that everything was done. I was quite pleased with the quality of their work and will be using them again. Their blasting room can handle stuff 25’x12x12.

Anyway once back home with the parts and the kids got their lunches, I was able to spend the afternoon painting everything. Everything was sprayed with my usual POR15 and then once almost dry but still tacky I started doing the final colour coat of KG#3 and gloss white.
