[FWDLK] Pot Metal

[David Sherratt <dave-tracy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all, Pot metal can be re-chromed even if it is in poor shape. The trick
is to copper plate it first, then fill the pit holes in with lead solder.
the lead solder is then polished down to the level of the parent metal. Do
not file it or use crocus cloth. This will badly scratch the metal. the
process then requires Nickle plateing, polishing again, and then the final
chrome plate.   I learnt this from a friend whom works in the plateing shop
at Rolls Royce.
