That looks real nice!  I'm also impressed with how nice and clean and 
shiney your work bench is :>)  I have a 30 year old piece of )(*&( bowling 
alley board about 7' long!

cleaning action stack






Hi List,

I posted last week about a dirty stack from an "M" that I just took in 
that 
I wanted to clean.  Just thought I'd post my results.

Photos should show a couple before photos (with requisite verdigris), and 
a 
couple after photos.

What I did:

Applied degreaser, scrubbed with nylon brush to remove gunk.
Spray stack with water to remove degreaser/gunk.
Let dry.
Clean stack with Flitz and Scotchbrite.

Tremendous improvement.

Next time, I'd do it the same way, but I'd be quicker on the degreaser 
step. 
I found I spent way too much time scrubbing the degreaser trying to remove 

as much tarnish as possible.  All I really wanted to accomplish with that 
step was removing the build-up of black gunk.  Live and learn.
