Interesting. Ron, do you have any pics of the mentioned finishes?
Thanks,V.
I wish that I did. I bought some props that were done up at Andy Brown's CMD Racing to see how mine compared to the way that they do props at his place. it was easy to "counterfeit" the way that he has them done by just leaving marks in the blades that I could do with a file or sander. The machine that he uses is called a Linisher, basically a belt sander with a long sanding belt with no backing plate. To my surprise, I paid big bucks to buy props that weren't as sharp or as well-balanced than mine were!
Wholehog, I just like to have good-looking props on my boats so I like to polish them up enough where they don't look nasty. I can't see dropping big bucks into a boat then have some green dull prop hanging off the back. Other prop work will yield more results than just a pretty or ugly finish.
