Not sure what you used to seal the fount (tank) but you may want to consider using a small amount of automotive gas tank sealer. Coat the inside real well and let it cure and it should seal up all those hole and the different fuels will not eat through it. Great restoration. That cute little lamp turned out great!
what is that paste that you use to seal the holes? I never knew you can do that... I wish I knew I throw away a few because I thought it was a done deal.
@@everytool8557 Oh I see do you happen to have the brand name at hand? I have one lantern left that I didn't throw away I just found it after I left the message and I would like to give it a shot. Thanks.....
Great job! I have a frowo kind of like this that I will be working on soon. Part of the burner is missing, and the large stamped part that attaches after the burner has a major rust hole in it. I wonder if it is possible to repair something like that or if I have to go buy a replacement.
I had same problem with my hicut 64 so I swapped the gears on each wheel over which reverses the blade turning direction, then turned the wheels by hand instead of using the drill
Restoration is gud.. best part is the kind of idea/design. How it function/works.. auto lock based on width of the nut.. but under day to day usage the center rod which holds the handle and the mouth will get loosened.. a slight play might be seen..could have modified it by adding a steel bush then the rod (rivit), inserted inside the bush, bush to be fitted to the handle, the Outer Diameter of the hole in the handle should b bigger than the hole provided in the mouth.. so handle holds the bush mouth holds the rod.. both in hard steel. It gives a perfect smooth semi turn.. but still this is not bad too. If its only upto restoration.. great job. Hope u understood my idea..
Nice restoration. Very very cool vise but i don't like the colour. Also those nails are to soft of a metal for a vise handle. They will bend very easily. But all in all a very cool resto!
