Title: Table restore
Post by: HoosierKettle on February 26, 2017, 11:08:19 AM
Thanks @cellar2full. I used your method. I also used my headlight restoration kit. Wet sand with 1000, 3000 grit and buff with drill using plastx before the 303. I already had it on hand.

I recommend the wet sand method. No dust.

Looks fantastic @HoosierKettle. Your right, the wet sanding method is a great way to avoid the that nasty dust.

Thanks guys. I tweaked the restore procedure a little but I would have never thought to try sanding it in the first place without @cellar2full restore procedure.

The 100, 220 did most of the work. I just figured I'd give the plastx and buff wheel a try but I honestly don't think that made a noticeable difference. All the stains scratches come off in the rough sand.

My table completely cracked and fell apart. Anyone know where one can be obtained for less than $110 plus shipping?

Contact Weber CS. They will give you a discount and send you a new metal replacement table. It might come under $110 or close to it.

Never over tighten the table bolts and never lift the cart by the table to avoid cracking it.

Thanks. It's good but not perfect. There are surface scratches in the porcelain and the the lid handle has been hit or dropped. It leans a little and I didn't try to bend it back to prevent breaking the welds. Other than that and a little grate tab rust, it is in good shape.

I don't know if I can recommend doing this. Now I don't use my table for fear of getting it dirty. [emoji51]

I'm using this grill now, but I have it right next to the patio table and that's where I'm sitting everything. [emoji23]

Use a cover. My bride and I were talking about this earlier. I need a new cover. Mine is shot, but my 3or 4 year old table looks new and better than most I see posted on f/b. Cover it, wipe it down. Keep it clean. Who wants to serve food off a dingy cooker. Who wants to eat food from a dingy kitchen. Personal opinion.

I'm surprised you can get coors light that close to St. Louis. Last time I was there I had to drink bud. Shock top is good though.

Absolutely. I took the family there 4 or 5 years ago. Had a great time. We went to pappy's on the last day and loved it

Good call on the cover. Just a regular cut table cloth? I'll do this when I install the metal table.

I'd move for the performer cover.  $50 here. Sucks. Buts worth it in my opinion.

I must be having a stupid attack tonight. I have a performer cover. You're saying you drape it over the table when you cook?

No sir, lol. I don't cover the table when cooking. I'm just saying keeping the performer covered when not in use will help keep it clean.

[emoji23] I knew what you were recommending and I knew what Travis was meaning but you 2 misunderstood each other. Both good advice.
