"El-Bo Grease" ? Is that that very expensive stuff used by Archers to wax their strings? I think its produced by 'Ard Graft and Co.

TMG,

Elbow grease and what ? steel wool, fine sand paper, did you any pre treatment, eg, strippers, etc ?

I did an article for the club mag on this about 18 months ago, it should be coming out soon.

I start off with Scotchbrite pads as this was mostly oxidisation rather than paint.

I was expecting some comment on what part the strippers played in the restoration process
