Anyone ever rawed/polished a rim? I want to do at least my back one, is it hard? I assume it'll be the same as anything, I'll just need a bigger tub? I have Fly rims too so it should be double fun.

Have been thinking of doing this for a while now, as well.

Best idea I've come up with was the use a garbage can lid as the "tub".

Interested to see what other people say.  Mines anodized.

I've never seen it before, and it doesn't look like the big hardware stores have it. I'll see if I can get my hands on some though. Thanks!

It's basically the same shit I posted with a link in the other thread.

Might as well ask this here too, what paint strippers have worked best for you guys?

This stuff from CT works well.

I'm thinking of getting an F100 next month to replace my F-601. Kinda of a bit of motivation to go rinse the darkroom at uni before I have to pay for things. I'll like it won't I?

Probably.  Everything feels the same as a dslr to me but it shoots film basically.

Those are all good.
Lots of people around here, myself included, have been running the Eclat CTRLs and everyone seems to like them.

He may or may not have some more awesome clips in QSS4.

Aluminum rails + Butcher pegs =
I don't really want to try a 16 stair rail and stick.

I've seen a 8-flat-8 done one on them.  It did have a quick layer of wax though.

Just practice doing rollouts the other way on a bank or something.
Eventually it gets easier cause its more of a fluid motion to continue the rollout the way you spun.

Switched pedals from Hamilton PC to my old aluminum JCs.
So fed up with plastic pins, never buying another pair of plastic pedals ever again (excluding JCPC).

Pretty much all of them are hinged now.  Look for one where the bolt is on top, or get a left-pull lever with the bottom-bolt; your thumb will thank you.
