Ok, so Im a bit stuck, I hate black and love shiny! So the obvious choice for me was to de ano my torches and then polish them.
I have been useing a dremel and it gives great results on the smooth part, but I am finding the black polish residude (I have polishing compounds and also mother polish) gets stuck in the groves so it never shines, I know knurling will never be mirror shiny, as it is not a flat surface, but I know it can get fairly shiny as I have had it shiny but then went I went to remove the compound with a scrubbing brush it removes the shine, any ideas anyone?
I did attempt to remove the knurling, but I dont have access to belt sanders and laths, so I attempted it with hand tools, and my dremel, needles to say that was an EPIC FAIL and I ended up throwing out that torch but kept the comonents. I have decided there is no way for me to remove the knurling with ease and get a good smooth round finish without pro workshop tools so that sucks!
So dose anyone know of anything I could try, I am throughly enjoying the moddin part and would love to have acess to tools and build a custom light but thats dreaming unfortantly, however I have been intrested in the whole P60 thing and might one day get into mods as well like what Vihn dose, (His work is simply magical!)
Im thinking a hiPower water jet after polishing might work, like a hose ect?
Thanks all!
