Gary and friends, I called and spoke with a very helpful, friendly Steve G yesterday.
I was surprised to hear that after he has his booster halves polished to remove any pits
that he glass beads with a fine grit/grade of glass (?) BEFORE the Yellow Zinc plating.
Evidently if you zinc plate over the polished metal, the results are too shiny, not correct.
My booster halves/pieces are not "pitted" but only surface rusted. I'm wanting to glass bead the surface rust and then run booster half(s) thru a shaker machine....This
will be an experiment to see how I can condition the metal surface before plating..........
