Bronze Prop

[romany123]

Just got back from sanding the bottom of the boat and thought i would polish the prop this year instead of using hard anti-foul on it as normal, thought I would try vasaline...is there an easier way than sanding....lots of build up of junk on it....
Ta very much in antisipation

Wire brush on an electric drill seems to shift most things

Disc grinder with a fineish sanding disc, works wonders and you can hire them!

I think I read somewhere that Vaseline is a great causer of corrosion because one of its constituents contributes to electrolysis. Perhaps I dreamed it.

Thought you would be in the pub because of the health hazard of grinding your prop ;-)
