Bad news mate.

I was rubbing a frame down the other day with wire wool. Like a mug i blew away the filings off the frame and got a load in my left eye. Went down the hospital and got it cleaned out. Only took 20 mins but 3hrs waiting to be seen!

You should get it seen to mate. Have you ever left nitromorse on your hands! It burns like fook so i dont think optrex would do the job!

Nick, I used to rub the frames down with wire wool but Dan told me not to, as little bits of wire stick to the frame & then when he paints or powders you get little lumps in the finish

Talk to Dan

An eye full of metal filing's that sounds even worse

So whats the best way to prep the frame for its new super paint coat then?

I THINK THE BEST WAY TO GET THE FRAME PREP DONE IS TO GET SOME OTHER F----- to do it
