Amazing work Bob! Got any skin left on them hands?!*

Chrome is a nightmare.

IMO you're better off with chrome that's already damaged as you can always make it look better because/rescue it just as you have done. New chrome on bikes over time will just deteriorate unless they are kept inside and that is just not possible in many situations! I got a fair few bits on some custom Chopper parts chromed and they all slowly became tatty/rusty over time which is just depressing.

Great work on the delrin, you should try some light oil on yourself!!!

Thanks mate, I bet that was sad watching that happen. Especially considering the cost of chrome. Jo and my son inform me I have leather hands.
Light oil? It puts the lotion on its skin..

The bits were chromed in the mid 90s to a high standard and at a fair price. Today getting anything chromed is crazy pricey, I wouldn't even want to know the cost vs. what I paid and no doubt the chemicals are probably not as good/bad depending on your view.

Nothing wrong with leather hands! I get accused of having farmers hands and I work in the creative industry where we should all have soft hands! My work colleagues can spot my dirty (but clean as far as I'm concerned!) hands over Zoom/video calls!!!
