come on spooky your killing me here man... I need more man..

[Mr.Spooky]

finally got the lacquer in !!!! i guess that its been about 2 weeks since i machine turned the column and found out that i had to set it back... i rapped it up in paper towles, ALOT of paper towles, and dident open it till now.. it looked fine!!!! i think that one of the reasons that it stayed preserved so long was that the whole time,, from start to finish, i used latex gloves when i touched it, and i never got it out from the time that i rapped it up. anywhoooo,,,
i got a link on the lacquer that was comonly used and was blown away by the price of a 12 oz can, so i went on the hunt. here is what i ended up with. it is an industeral grade lacquer is designed for alloys (copper). i called the company and they said that it would work but they recomended not to use it on things that would be 200*f. (so i figured that it tested at about 400*f before it acually broke down) most things that iv found cut their recomendations in about 1/2 of what theyll acually do.
so everything you see here ended up being less than 70$$... as i am finding out, 1 gal of this stuff will be way more than plenty,,, but i like to over do things any way. there should be enough left over to do a few coats on everything in and around the house.. the old rear engine snapper mower is next!
heres the stuff.

i fixed the few leakes that i had on the column today, so by mid next week, ill run some diluted heads and tails through her for a final test. then next saterday, im gonna slide in the shop at work and do the column. (i dont have a drill press at home). but next sunday, ill have the lacquer on the column, and then,,,,,,,,,,, ill be thinking of my next project ... but back to reality,, i cant wait to truley get her up and running.
thanks everybody for the motivation to keep me on track,,,with this build, one has to understand that it wont be done in a few hours (atleast not in my case ). and thanks to every ONE for helping me expand my horizions!
