Unpolishing My Gallic G Helmet
#2
Hours and hours and hours of experience with dulling!<br>
<br>
We use a home made mix of fine ground pumice and nut oil applied with a felted wool pad or sea sponge.<br>
<br>
You could use one of those sanding sponges or a green pad or a very fine steel wool...0000. ...or a 400 - 600 grit sanding paper .... or a buffing compound<br>
<br>
The trick is swirling motions and hand work<br>
