Hey thanks for the tip on the abrasive blocks guys!
You know me, I have to try everything. :)
Scrape first is my standard these days. Learn to use razor blade and
other scrapers and
the whole tool restoration world gets easier.
Also, nickel or chrome parts (since this is a hacksaw frame) do best
scrubbed with Bar Keepers Friend and a scrub pad. rinse and blot dry.
Its acidic but pretty wimpy and seldom hurts. It leaves your plating as
best as it can be.
The mechanic tool collectors all use it.
yours Scott
