Today, I finished the glass beading of the casting and tonight I got some of the small parts in the vibrating polisher. I will post a picture tomorrow of the naked casting after it is thoroughly washed and given an alcohol rinse. I have some casting marks that need to be filled so I am going to get some filler to prep the surface before painting. I choose to not blast all of the linkages and shafts at this point. They will not be seen so I have them soaking in WD-40. I will give them a good scrub with a brass wire brush before reinstalling. Any visible parts will be polished with either a buffer or the dremel. I need to pick up some etching primer and masking tape.
