That was my initial plan. But all that work... And I'm not sure if the metal of the kishsaver is a good basis for that.Muirium wrote:Make it shiny. Polish!
But I think I'll try it...

Can you detail your process a bit? If I have this straight, you spread some paint remover on (what type?), covered the whole thing in cling wrap, and then heated it up? (Like, with a blow dryer/heat gun, or in the oven, or ...)

this is it basically. Put the paint remover thick on it (nothing special, normal stuff from the hardware store, it's a thick gel). Then wrap it in cling wrap (that stuff you normally use in kitchen to cover food) and then put it on a warm place. I used the heating in one of my rooms (but becareful, it really starts to smell). You don't need that much heat, maybe normal room temperature is also enough.jacobolus wrote: ↑Can you detail your process a bit?

In my first try I had it the whole time uncovered in the barn, where it was relatively cold. And even over night nothing happened.

I don't even want to know how layers of paint the doors have in my 115 year old house.webwit wrote: ↑Reminds me I need to finish painting my door. That crap removed all 6 historic layers of paint at once.

finally somebody asked it...
... I just called it The Last Kishsaver, cause it was the last one tinnie had (and I may have talked him a bit into selling it to me back then... sorry tinnie...). It was one of the crappy/incomplete ones, that he didn't put up for regularly sale.
so for me, it's the last Kishsaver (or as some call it, tinsaver)
Current progress:
I started sanding the back of the case... Nothing interesting to see, so no new pics.
And I will try to find somebody who can remove the dent from the topshell.

I receive many messages concerning this board. To answer some questions:
I. I still have it
II. Not for sale
III. No real progress, cause I'm lazy and the material is not really suitable for polishing
IV. I still need to find somebody who can remove the big dent from the back
