antdad said:Yes how? I wouldn't attempt it without an application of heat.
Actually it looks like pressed steel so you should be okay if it is, still some heat will help.

antdad said:Does it even need replating and what did you use to apply heat?
dodgy said:That's a lot of work, but you ended up with a nice looking sinker.
I'm pretty sure those goofy looking things aren't actually used for shaving, except for a few twisted SE cultists.

What's the heat part of replating? Do you apply heat after it's plated to improve the finish?Hippo said:The last few pics are after it's been re-plated, heat wise I went for subtle use of my Black & Decker paint stripping gun, seemed to work ok
