Well done Pajo!   @@*
A really great job .... the before/after shots are great and really show how well the restoration has gone.  Good stuff!

When I first read about flame polishing I thought there's no way I'm going to do that to my ramp, I'll just use novus.   After I tried novus I realised that it wasn't going to do the job.  Then I saw your video and thought 'I can do that'. So I bought a $15 butane torch on ebay and discovered flame polishing is really straight forward as well as fun to do... so thanks for the video Rob.

I thought that flame polishing was going to give me a heart attack!!! BUT It is awesome and so easy to do, My Cue ball wizard came out fantastic on the ramps (Clear & Red ramps) I flame polished the apron aswell and that looks brand new... Honestly I test anyone to try it, it's such a fantastic idea  *%*

Great job! I look on with envy. I love my TZ, and am having trouble with the through 26 switch. How did you repair yours?

Thanks for that. Troublesome little dickens that 26.
Beyond my skill level, but I may call on Beaky for some help when he's free.
