10.21.12 Skin patching/Polishing

10.21.12

We spent some time on YouTube finding out how to polish and shine “Tin Lizzzy” to it’s best.  The way we decided on is a 4-step process.  1. 400 grit sandpaper 2. 800 grit sandpaper 3. Black jewelers polish 4. White jewelers polish. Today we did the door side - steps 1 and 2.

 

 We also spent time patching some of the corrosion/holes with JB Weld. As “Tin Lizzy” sat for some time in a field, we can tell that one side got more sun than another, and one side had more water damage than another. So as a result the kitchen side needed a lot more patchwork than the other. As each piece of skin was patched we began taking up the kitchen side of the trailer.
