Sounds like a job well done. Bottletopburly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 I'm getting addicted to Chess Titans. 2-1 down on level 7. On the chessboard I'm a pale shadow of my former self. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz Type-R Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Secondary is the hardest to sort, but time and patience normally provales. Nicely done though. Bottletopburly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicely done though. Yes the secondary can be such a pain , even with bobs knobs fitted , seems ok now though it's jest getting that sweet spot where it's roundest , cleaned the primary too that had a film on it that would only clean off with vinegar on a very soft cloth then washed off with copious amounts of distilled water looks ok now now nice and shiney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz Type-R Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 (edited) Vinegar?????? Im not sure, but that may be too harsh and could damage the coating on the primary? I used un-fragranced washing up liquid, none of the smelly stuff, let the mirror soak for ages then wiped clean with surgical cotton wool, then rinsed as you have done.

Bottletopburly Posted January 30, 2017 Author Share Posted January 30, 2017 Yes drastic action used clear vinegar , the problem was I had a greasy film which I could not budge even after steeping in water and soap flakes , I think it may have been caused by diesel fumes off the mixer from when I did the patio , used a soft microfibre cloth with a bit of vinegar on and just lightly touched the surface seem to do the trick , washed off under the shower then used distilled water for final rinse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
