My stealth Kabuki is now a semi satin finish stainless steel. I had chipped the inside finish from repeated removal of the o-rings and the chips started to expand. I called HOH for some advice, and to see if I could get a replacement for the delrin insulator which I had damaged. I was going to try Astro's method of boiling the attie to get the finish off...
It was suggested to just use elbow grease and sand it off. I started sanding and the metal got pretty ugly pretty fast, and then I thought, aha! I don't have a lathe, but I've got a bunch of drills, I used a
nautilus core to chuck the base into a drill and got 'er spinning, a couple minutes with some wet & dry paper and the SS had a very nice finish on it. how to chuck the top piece to get the chimney section ,I wondered. A stubby SS tight fitting drip tip and I was in business, spun the piece at a medium pace and slowly worked off the finish and put a nice clean looking finish on the steel beneath. Taped off the chimney with some painters tape and chucked it in the drill to apply a finish to the metal up top. Yup, I took my Kabuki and chucked it up in a cordless drill and sanded and polished the stainless steel.
