Early 16B tombstone
#22

I think I solved one mystery not that it helps the problem but I think I know it the why. [Image: https://philcoradio.com/phorum/images/sm..._think.gif] Was talking w/Oldrestorer on the phone lamenting about what a pain using grain filler is. The timing is somewhat critical not enough it wipes right off too much it hardened and sanding or oms is about the only way the level it. I put a coat on about 7pm and thought should be ready in the morning (in the ut vid that said 8hrs but I know better). Got up 8am and checked it still was not quite ready. By 1pm it was ready and came off fine. Still messy, stinky, and difficult to get out of tight curves. Any way I digress back to the mystery part the reason for exercise in grain filling is because the person that striped it used a metal paint scraper to remove the old finish and gouged the heck out of it.[Image: https://philcoradio.com/phorum/images/sm...n_evil.gif]  As it sits now it's got one coat of filler which filled most of gouges abt 60% for I'm thinking two more coats to level it out the rest of the way. Mid week before any more sealer/toner. Don't want any hazy spots!

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
