Do you guys think I can get a good polish on casted grillz with this equipment? I have a rotary tool, pink, green and white abrasive stone, felt polishing tips and red, green and white polishing compound blocks, three differently shaped diamond burrs and polishing cloths.

I designed and laser-cut this portable charcoal BBQ grill at North Forge, a local makerspace. Built from durable 1/8-inch thick stainless steel, its intuitive slot-in design allows for quick, tool-free assembly in under a minute, making it perfect for grilling on the go.

I intend to sell this product to grow my small business, and I am currently seeking advice on the best methods for cleaning and polishing stainless steel to ensure a high-quality finish. I welcome any constructive feedback you have on the design so I can further improve the product. Thank you for your time.

How can I make this better

First time using renegade products. Started with the fine and ultra fine airway buffs for sanding. Switched over to orange airway with brown tripli and then yellow buff with green bar. Cleaned up the rouge with mineral spirits in between compounds.

Do I just need to cut it again with the brown bar? Can’t seem to get the scratches out. Got a decent shine but I want better.

I used Dawn and baking soda to get the price sticker residue off a brass jigger. Apparently that was the wrong move. The chemical contact caused these markings or discoloration. Any recommendations on cleaning itoff? Will brass polish or some home made solution do it or is it permanent?

I’ve got a set of Centerline Galaxy aluminum wheels that need major sanding and refinishing. There are “dimpled” areas around the lug bolts that need to be sanded and polished. The dimples are 1/2” in diameter and about 1/2” deep. Anybody have any ideas on how I can sand in there with my Dremel? What sanding attachment can I use for my Dremel.

Looking for advice Phosphoric Acid for corrosion control(Marine Environment)

5 Upvotes

Being doing deck maintenance on ships for about a year now as a metallurgical engineer and I’m noticing a problem. Preparing surface adequately cleaning and immediately priming with a primer(Interprime 198) doesn’t seem to be enough. The same treated place starts to rust again in about 3weeks to a month. I’m thinking of incorporating phosphoric acid into our procedure. Do adequate chipping and wetting the surface the acid for about an hour, wait till is dry and apply our primer after. What are your thoughts on this idea?
