I finally drummed up the courage to use my micromesh pads on a vac blind cap with bite marks. I was reading through the new repair book by Oldfield/Marshall and one way apparently to lose bite marks is to dip into boiling water for a couple of seconds. I tried this with a spare vac blind cap and was not overawed with the results, only slightly improved. So i decided to crack on with the micromesh for the first time since buying it over a year ago
Now the bite marks on the blind cap in question from an azure blue major vac were not too deep but many of them. I started with a bowl of water and working from a rougher grade rubbed continually turning the cap between my finger and thumb occasionally dipping it in the water. I worked down to the smoothest pad and finally polished up with a dab of simichrome. I am really pleased with the results, now with the naked eye the marks are hardly visible and to the touch fairly smooth and shiny
I wouldn't want to go any more because i can now feel a minute difference in diameter to the barrel so wouldn't want to lose any more material. I am, however, delighted with the results on an otherwise perfect major.
