Winding check

Post by Joxe »

Hi everybody, I build from time a penta rod and need to form a winding check with the technique explained by JD Wagner.
Unfortunately, after having treated the check with a flame in order to soften the metal, the check gets a dark color and I
cannot succed to obtain the initial brilliant. Can anyone help? Thank you, tight lines, Joxe.

Use a fine wire, wire wheel under power, then polish it with a power polishing wheel to a bright finish.
