Re: Sanding to bright Aluminum
appears to be new take on an old tech. Can't remember what it was called. Well advertised, saw them at boat shows and then they disappeared.

Re: Sanding to bright Aluminum
It has to have a primer coat..refer to Jeff's post. after primer, it will adhere as expected.

Re: A little crazy?

Re: Sanding to bright Aluminum

When you sand to bare metal, you must apply primer (the correct primer,. of course, for the material you will use to finish up) within just a few hours or the aluminum will start to oxidize. When it does, the primer and everything o...

Re: window hardware
it's a tricky little piece to replace but I have a cheap alternative: Cut, trim, sand, stain, a small block of wood. Say, 1" x 3" or so. About 1/4 to 1/2 " thick and silicone glue to window. It will give the needed finger hold.
