Mickly Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 I’ve had the cam cover of the Trophy powder coated.I’m now using a sharpening stone to remove the coating on the fins and the text. ( see pic where I have done the Triumph text ) The trouble I’ve got is that the sharpening stone has become clogged up - does anyone know how to clean the ally swarf out of the stone ? I’ve tried a brass wire brush.Also having exposed the ally can I lacquer the complete cover to prevent it corroding?Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastbob Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 How about making up some sanding blocks instead using emery paper and some bits of wood . I use these on my model planes . I use superglue to attach one end of the paper to the back of the block and stretch the paper tightly round then glue the other end to the back also . This makes them flat and reusable .

Guest Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Old silicone sealant that has set is good for cleaning sanding belts, might be worth a try if you have an old tube knocking about that has gone off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastbob Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 On second thoughts is it really worth sanding through that powder coating ? If you do then you're asking a lot of any lacquer. Getting it to stick to raw ally without flaking off or turning yellow is one thing but sticking to powder coating is not something I have tried . How about using some high temperature silver paint on a roller to highlight the raised portions instead ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
