Oops!! I told you 40 hrs. When I dicussed polishing with him at
the International in 2002, I remembered it as ONE week full time, say
40 hours.
I just found one of his "old" posts on this forum and in it he qoutes
about 140 hours, big difference! He is no longer a member of this
forum, I would have spotted his posts if he was.
You can't just start poilishing, there is a lot of reseach required
first.
1) removing clear coat,
2) removing Vulkem,
3) polishers, methods, polishes,
4) resealing joints
If you do a search for "airsteam polishing" and "aircraft polishing"
there is lots of infomation on the web, and a lot of in it relatively
new. If you read enough you will find that Rolite is the polish of
choice by most of the more recent "polishers". It comes in three
grades and you need them all, like sandpaper "course, medium and
fine" but they are not called that.
