Looking to do some flame polishing but try a few techniques on an old ramp first.
Let me know and I'll pay for it plus p+p.

Thanks

This is probably how my attempt will turn out. I'm replacing a ramp soon so i will be attempting flame polishing on my old ramp. I've read up on it quite abit, which is all you can do really. Apparently need to keep it going fast enough just to melt the top layer, not the whole ramp.

Make sure you clean it first else it melts the grime into it

It doesn't look to difficult to do but the skill is keeping that flame moving rather rapidly. I also noticed doing it against a strong light helps a hell of a lot.
My main worry is not setting the house on fire, ha ha

A video would be great. I would put everything aside to watch a live stream.

Good plan having a practice first. I wish a pervious owner of my Whirlwind had!

Jsyjay looks like you need some new ramps there. Send me them in the pics to practise on .
You never know I may even improve them,lol

Haha, I've had a new set in my basket at Starship Fantasy a few times but haven't bought them as they still do the job for now.
