Just chuck up an arbor with a scotch brite roloc into a drill press and away you go |
Yes, or a wood dowel or a rubber dowel, or a sanding disc, or a wire wheel. You can google search videos on engine turning or machine turning.
You'll get the best results by using a vertical mill so you can control how much you move it each time.
You can do it by hand with a drill but it's difficult to control the pressure.
Ideally you'll have even controlled pressure from turn to turn as well as controlled movement.
Practice on a scrap piece. |

I worked on the rear laugage tray. I found some 1/8" felt and 4' wide micro ribbed rubber mat that was a almost perfect match to the original
Here are a few pics

Is there anyway to do this at home? My subhatch trim needed to be cleaned and in doing so removed a lot of that texture. |
yep, it's called engine turning. I'd bet Gibbs can show you how to do it, it's done in sign painting (and lowrider striping) all the time
eastwood used to sell a kit, but I don't see it now |

Have you considered simply starting with a nicer bus? I don't know what your skills are, but the race is easier if you can see the finish line. If you are not a runner, don't start off doing a marathon. |

Good idea. Can I reserve it for November 4th-7th? I've also got 4 Great Danes, is that a problem? |

Greg, you have a great sense of humor, the 4 Great Danes cracked me up. I am so sorry, but the bus has been spoken for for that weekend. Mary and I will be camping in it, we are so excited to finally graduate from sleeping in a tent. I can't wait. _________________ SOUTHERN INTEGRITY AIRCOOLERS
