9/0 Frame Kit

I've bought at least half a dozen reels with the lever on backwards, including some shimanos .

Make sure you polish outdoors Aiala and wear an apron. The polish goes everywhere. Use as little as you can get away with, or you will be wearing most of it.

Thanks for the tip, Daron. (I hate making a mess!) Meantime, I already tried it out on the star drag wheel and the handle, and even though they were pretty rough, I couldn't believe how nicely they shined up!

Now where is the fun in doing the polishing outdoors. Oh yah I forgot it was 19* here today. There is the fun.

Well I don't know what Broadway Dom's plans are for shipping. As you know he manages a couple of parking lots and when it snows he has to plow them to keep his business open. So it looks like the weather is effecting all of us. Dominick

Parking lots?? In the city?? I think I need to have a talk with Dom.

Shark Hunter · January 25, 2014, 03:32:24 AM

I bet Dom is raking is some serious change plowing those lots!

Hey guys,
Dominick is 100% correct... It's been a long week and I'm also painting my apartment at the same time. I will be posting the "come and get it" tomorrow evening at the latest. Tom did a beautiful job and I'll be proud to send his artwork out to the AT Crew. My posting will be in the member tackle for sale section in the forum.
The weather made it so I was unable to pick the frames up until Thursday afternoon even though they were delivered on Tuesday. Sorry for the inconvenience but I'll think you'll be pleased with the outcome.
Thanks for your patience,
Dom

Huzzah!

As I await the arrival of my beautiful silver frame, and being thoroughly obsessed with the aesthetics of my reels, I am wondering if anyone can tell me how to restore some luster to the weathered bakelite of my 9/0 sideplates? (I tried using car wax, which accomplished exactly nothing.)

Dominick at one time recommended shoe polish. Now I have only red/maroon plates but I would guess with the black ones it would be good!
