Been using the Dremel on them,start out with the rounded sandpaper,than move to the fine sandpapers......(They can take a beating,you won't hurt them)..Than the felt pads..
Some use "Zam"-I liking using "Fabulustre"........Better polish,in my opinion...

Mine have some white crud on them. I was just gonna try to tumble them instead of doing your whole process. I can be lazy like that!! Roland

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
