Title: Aussie Winter Refurbs
Post by: Australian fast bowler on June 04, 2016, 12:48:44 AM
Hi everyone, seen the ever so popular winter bat refurb thread so thought i might just show off some of my work.

Been doing it for team mates for a few years after seeing some techniques on this forum (longtime viewer, recently joined)

any extra feedback would be greatly appreciated!!

Sanded with  random orbital sander in varying grits from 80- 1500 and then finished with a special polishing compound which a local bat maker got me on to.

any extra feedback would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks mate, I dont want to reveal the compound just yet as i am unsure if the bat maker would like me telling his secrets. I can say it is commercially available, not some home made concoction

EDIT** I have asked his permission

@Australian fast bowler are you Brisbane bat repairs? Seem to remember a YouTube video where the set up and towel round handle was very similar to the set up pictured

Update!!**

Asked the bat maker and he was happy for me to share. Many on this forum who have made bats would probably know the product

The compound is called HYFIN
