wax on...


Fun with RV restore update: So the 1st coat of latex ceiling paint let some of the old yellowing bleed through, so I give it a second coat with shellac- based sealer- worked great ( the fumes were stronger than I thought and after 3 hours I realized I had taken my 1st 'trip' in the RV w/o starting the engine- and killed a little gray matter - I've been unencumbered by the thought process for years anyway). Dad recommended Minwax paste finishing wax to seal the cabinetry after doing the touch up- this stuff goes on and off just like car wax ( w/ great results) and my arms and shoulders felt like I'd waxed Mr. Miyagi's entire collection of antique cars at the end of that day- thanks for that advice, pop! Can't wait to hear what dad 'suggests' to rejuvenate the exterior gel-coat, I may not be able to type after that. I guess I could enlist the aid of my nephews ( and sister) that will be here next month- I seem to remember my uncles' exploiting a little of my childhood energy from time to time ( they call it 'mentoring' nowadays), maybe I can relabel the buttons on a polishing buffer w/ ' attack' and 'fire weapon' and convince them it is practice for fps games ( hmmmm, I can call it a 'Halo' buffer) ! Also have the shower in good working order- definitely not for you 6'+er's out there.
