Very old RNS Larons aprox 5-6 years old..

this is my 1st attempt at anything like this. started it yesterday had lots of head ache trying to remove the old stickers and face tape etc...

still got alot of glue to remove from the face etc

just need to nip into town and get some more sand paper for the sheet sander

[tommo256]

you using a machine sander or doing it by hand buddy?

[Simmy]

ive got an orbital sander and a sheet sander..

will be using a machine mostly and finishing it off my hand.

the bat is propa goosed wood has pealed off where i ripped stickers off etc so im gonna have to take about 2mm of some places

use a stanley knife blade to scrape off all the fibre webbing mate as saves blocking up loads of sheets of sandpaper then with the glue and will make it a much faster job once they glue is out of the way

[Simmy]

loosen glue with a little bit of spirit [dab onto it with a cloth or tissue] then blunt edge to scrape off... [sharps may dig in]

If spirit is drinkable take a couple of swigs, if girlfriend, wife, life partner asks tell them you are refurbing a bat!

PS Put Radio 4 on

PPS Once bat refurb is done, refurb the workmate please
