man id love to salvage some vintage cast plates and get my wire brush drill kit on them and hammerite ( a brand of direct paint to rust brand ) the crap out of them
I wouldn't have that especially for used and if they weren't matched or paired up. I actually regret having boughten brand new weights now having seen all of the videos of people making concrete weights on here. Good for you though.
6:09 hey did you ever find out the brand of those 25lbs? I have 6 of those exact 25 plates and always wondered who made them. Was surprised to see someone else having them.
I believe those are York plates look up York milled 25 I got this from google “Most York Barbell weight plates are made in China, but some are made in North America from US materials. York Barbell made Olympic plates and bars in Pennsylvania from the 1930s until the 1990s. York Milled Era plates, made from the 1960s to the 1990s, were made in the United States and have a more rounded "O" on them. Plates made in China have a blocky "O". Plates made in the 1990s have a "USA" stamp on the hub and are slightly smaller in diameter.”
SO screwed/ Why did u even make this video / You did NOT follow recommended procedure /Application and required "cure time to reach maximum durability/
