<P>Hi. You may wish to check with S/W before using that. Even if it has not been exposed to temperature extremes or air, the coating can undergo chemical change as it ages. Would not hurt to try it on something replaceable but as your AS is NO<DIV></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>>ingredients on foor seal are varnish-100% non volatile -
<DIV></DIV>>tung,linseed,,phenolic,ester gum-36%, Solatile mineral spirits 64%.

Subject: Suburban furnace exhaust vent cover
Hi! I recently noticed that the exhaust vent cover got loose and fell off my
'66 Overlander during a recent trip. Does anyone who replaced their furnace
have this part to sell to me? The model number is NT-20. Thank you for any
help. I hate to tear the whole thing out and replace it, but it is not
working properly without it.

Hello Roland,
Good job!
I noticed you used a "cyclo" polishing unit. Did it leave any swirl
patterns? I've heard the drum type polishers are the only way to go,
rather than orbital units.

Roland,
Can you please specify which buffing pads and cyclo wraps...I notice
cyclo sells a number of different pads but did not see any wraps for
sale on their website?

When does the rally begin and end. I can't bring my Safari because I

Ed,
The Real Wally Rally in Santa Maria is being held at the fairgrounds. Off
the 101, take the Stowell exit and head west. The fairgrounds are located on
the corner of Stowell and South Thornburg Streets. Enter the fairgrounds
through gate "7" off of Thornburg. Watch the skies for the Real Wally
balloons to locate Don and Joyce. See you there. When will you be arriving?

Subject: Re: Polishing/patina
WOW!!! I'm really impressed. You must really need sunglasses when you
go near it in the sun!!!
I'm hoping the distressed, patina look will be in style by the time mine
will be road worthy....whenever that will be. I'm trying to develope a
taste for the textured/satin finish especially with the look of residue
of duct tape on it!!!
We are finally getting motivated to get some work done on this "driveway
ornament" that the neighbors love to look at!! Just found out yesterday
that my order with Inland is $750....nice start...4 windows [hence the
duct tape residue], door knob, seals and adhesive, window clippies [made
of silver for the price], a black water valve and some more nebulous fun
stuff to get this tub into shape. I'll be glad to get this stuff
installed especially since cleaning each window takes about 4 hours of
scrubbing the aluminum.
What's the best way to clean the interior aluminum? I've just been
picking up every caustic looking cleaning product I can find around the
house and garage and Walmart but elbow grease is all that works. I
finally got one window frame that looks like aluminum again. I'm going
to do that before installing each window.
Don't tell me the whole exterior is going to be this hard...cuz I just
know I will really grow to appreciate it's exterior patina of "age" as
they say on "Antiques Roadshow".
