It might help it a little bit more. Yeah, I was actually thinking that too when I bid. There may actually be a bit of luster under all that crust. Report this Post to the Staff

The dies were wiped with a rage to remove excess oil and crud. Now the PLANCHETS were sometimes dried after cleaning by tumbling in sawdust. Sawdust is also used as a sweeping compound for removing oil or grease spills from the ground. Report this Post to the Staff
