41A Next Batch cleaned

[satan18]

With some more butty fuses covered in barnacles and allsorts
it was time to get them cleaned up and free.

I used Glass dust at an even lower preasure followed by baking soda
to finish off.

Go in for the Zoom and see the detailing


I am very pleased with the results,nearly every safety clip came out
intact and all the arming spindles are free,and do turn completely out.

Thanks Dano

Trying to get the right combination to clean,and thats about the best
they will come up without abrasive measures.

This is about the last of a batch of 160 of the little critters which all came from the ground,so all in all pleased with the out come.

Thanks Allan

It is a slowish process only in so much that you control how far you go into the fuse itself.

The low preasure glass dust takes the heaviest deposits of nicely,and if you re fill the blast pot with ordinary baking soda then you can actually mirror polish ally if you keep it on to long.

All 58 fuses in this last lot took about an hour and a half to do
and all that remains is to be rubbed up in machine oil.

All the best phil

The main thing is they are saved for the likes of us to fit into SD2s or section or just to upgrade what we might have in our collections,as we have moved a few on to people and they to like the finished article.

Many thanks phil

Top-ho! old bean!:tinysmile_fatgrin_t
Cracking little batch,nice one Phil.:top:
Im very impressed here with how they have turned out. I wonder if any of the 67's can be recovered?
If not,these 41's more than compensate for the trouble we had to get them.

Hi Chris

I would say put the glass through at about 60psi say about double you would spray a car at,and do a tester first.

Then try about 40 psi with the baking soda which you can go in low and increase as you get into it.

The garnet i use about 300psi which is what i use on the bomb casings.

I am going to see what else i can use as if its fine enough you can put anything through the nozzle. :tinysmile_fatgrin_t
