Super User skunked_again Posted March 9, 2011 Author Super User Posted March 9, 2011 cleaning said reel, giving the frame a bath in the same cleaner my Fuego and Sol was in and got this.......any ideas on this heavily tarnished frame/sideplate? Just take your oil and a small brush. Brush a small amount of oil onto the frame. Let it sit a while, then wipe off. You will be surprised at the out come...... Tight Lines! after talking to a few pros, transmission fluid was suggested. glass blasting is still an option if i cared what the reel looked like. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted March 9, 2011 Super User Posted March 9, 2011 So, when you hold your ruined ITO, you think the DIY approach was the way to go? I have no issue with guys learning and will even help them out as best as I can, but dude you hosed that thing. Have you oiled the thing, yet? See if that works. It'll probably get it close. I'd take a crack at it, but will give DVT his right to 1st refusal. Quote

Super User skunked_again Posted March 9, 2011 Author Super User Posted March 9, 2011 Good luck. thanks. edit: it wouldnt be the worst idea to have a forum for reel service and up-grades. im sure im not the only one who wouldnt mind seeing that. Quote

Unless you have a super finesse touch with the dremel, I wouldn't try it. At least I know I don't. Quote
