Scored spool

[GORDASKIPPER]

I have cleaned scored spool with 000 steel wool. It's not bad now   however what else can work?

It is pitted, if it is smooth use it.  You might be able to fill it with a epoxy like JB Weld.

I'm afraid it's there to stay.  I've used 2K grit wet/dry on spotty chrome to at least smooth it out and then follow up with flitz on the whole spool.  I haven't had to do that on stainless yet.  Scoring it more could cause a bigger problem depending on the metal.

I never would have thought to fill it as Lee suggests.  If you do, I'd like to see how it turns out.

Lee hides a lot of ideas in that beard of his.

Scrub with a great toothbrush and wipe off the excess grease. You should be fine!

Won't even see it from the beach.

Lee has the right idea. If it's pitted add a little JB Weld, sand & buff it to smooth and you'll be good to go, just make sure there's no ridge to catch line.
