I started a mild restoration of this beautiful thumbscrew red. I think I see spin lines.

Huge thanks to Bear and Jocool for making a dream come true. Literally. No shit, I've dreamt of scoring one of these vintage woks, but never imagined I'd find one NIB. It's huge!

Sorry I had to break up the post, the WKC app is only allowing 10 pics per post. Let me make it up to y'all with this bonus red.

Quote from: jdorn on March 08, 2018, 12:13:02 PMNot exactly, although I used both Nevr Dull and Mother's on the vents in alternating applications. I also used Nevr Dull on the triangle after soaking in vinegar and scrubbing with 0000.
Is Nevr Dull like Mother's? What did you use it on?
