Hob Knobs ....Poss OT

Anything here?

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember Grimly Curmudgeon saying something like:

You could rub down the originals and spray them with an aerosol chrome. Not 100% chrome-like, but sometimes very good. I recommend a finish called 'Steel Wheels' which was available in car accessory shops, and doubtless has a current equivalent.

Thx for all the suggestions incl Steel Wheels ..I recall using that on my car wheels years ago.....I thought I had won a watch at a site called Europart who have dozens of cooker knobs but don't sell to the public except through shops ( those wee cards up on the walls with all sorts of things in) .Last night I took one of the knobs,degreased it a then gave it a going over with Duraglit and then T-Cut and that helped to get some shine back and I finished it with a burnishing of Baby Oil so we will see how that does . I was going to try fine wet 'n dry first but didn't have any left.

No, just unconventional.

I thought you sound guys were edgy and willing to try anything

Never heard of those, are they anything like a KitKat ?

Only if it involves an angle grinder.
