Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 (edited) My daughter is coming home for Christmas so I thought I better wash the floors. My floors are tile and I don't think I've done anything to them for two or three years. After all, the Romans had tile floors and I don't ever recall reading anything about them washing them. Well, first off I kept running into #8 shot all over the house. Amazing how that stuff migrates. Have no idea how it gets from the gun room to the kitchen, but they were there. As I kept scrubbing what I thought was the pattern in the tile started coming off. Cheap tile? As I moved from room to room I started seeing little streaks that looked like spots I had missed. Like a cat chaseing a laser pointer I was on them. Finally figured out it was the sun shinning through the Venetian blinds onto the newly glossy floor. Don't know if I like the glossy look. Sorta like the fanatics who polish the receivers on their 66s when everyone knows you should shoot BP through them and let them turn a natural mustard color. The things we do for Christmas!

Chili Ron Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Howdy, Yep, them 66 bronze parts need the varnish cleared off and then store them in the kitchen where hot vapors will turn em after a bit. I sold one a few years back. I told the buyer how to continue the process or of course he could shine em to blinding if he wanted. Last I heard he decided to go with makin em look like the $13,000 originals at the fancy gun shows. Boy that was an accurate shooter and good lookin too. Just so heavy....
