RE: [a/s] I MADE IT !!!

["Erickson, Micheal R. LCDR" <Erickson.MichealR@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

"Also has anyone polished one themselves?  I saw where Airmark Surfacing 
tools out of Tulsa does it for $90-100. I can't go that route.  His pictures

were beautiful."
That's $90-100 a linear foot.  It may add up. 

"Where we live there is a Company called Gruman that works on airplanes and 
	it is connected with a Technical school,  I thought of checking with
them, 
	but Dale says they probably don't do any of that [polishing].  I
think that I 
	will check it out anyhow.  Has anyone ever used a resource like
this?"

	That would be Northrop-Grumman.  They manufacture military aircraft,
aerospace systems, and various other tools of war. They *may* have some sort
of maintenance training school-house there but Dale is probably correct.  I
run an Aviation maintenance training school here for the Navy, including
instruction on airframes and corrosion control.  As much as we might like to
have a go at a private sector project like your A/S (or my Cayo, for that
matter!) we couldn't touch it with a 10 foot shiny aluminum pole.

	Best luck!
