HELPFUL HINTS #3

Handy Hint - Dashboard Restoration.
This works well - use shellac/French polish on wooden dashboards where the lacquer has separated from the wood. The shellac takes away the milky appearance and helps adherence.
Use copiously and wipe away excess with metho.
Also, a heat gun works well to separate the lacquer from the wood veneer if your intention is to refurbish the polish. Just apply heat until the lacquer goes 'milky' then peel off when cool .Use care not to burn the veneer.
Handy Hint - Rubber Grease.
If you aren't a regular user of PBR Rubber grease you should be. It makes difficult jobs like replacing rubber bushes easy. Even when replacing a rubber grommet or plug it makes it a breeze.
Available on Ebay if you have trouble finding it.
