Default Prop Polishing

Over the weekend we scuffed the prop a little and was wondering what anyone was using to polish it back to a like new finish??

A very large buffing wheel on a very large lathe.

Just trying to be funny, I need to practice on that!!

Really, if you want it done, we can or any of the other prop people could too.

Bret,

I think he wants to know what compound is used.

BTW, I just got the maximus back, your polishing job is beautiful. I'll let you know about the performance next week. I can't wait.

Thanks,
Dave

The compound is made from a secret recipe developed by my Great Aunt GiGi. It's 1 part Crest toothpaste, 1 part Preperation H, 1 part bacon grease with a dash of sand found only in a quarry in Red Granit Wisconsin.

Works perfect every time.

Don't tell anyone.

By the way, thanks Dave!!

Bret,I think I understand what all of Aunt GiGi's ingredients do,except preparation H.What does it do,tighten the porosity?

BBladesprops,Houston,I think we have a problem!!!After great effort,Aunt GiGi's recipe was created.However,one of the ingredients must have over reacted on the porosity.The blades just pulled around to create 4 individual tubes.However,I'm hoping that when the props cool they will flatten back out.Is that all normal?
