I actually do not have any pictures of the finished product...yet. I will take
a few next time the propeller is off the plane and post them. I'll post a few
that I do have with it in-work when I get the time. Stand by...
If God is your co-pilot...switch seats.

Raymond,
I just re-finished and balanced my prop. I used acetone on stainless steel wool
to remove the finish. I used polyurethane for the finish and it is holding
up real good. No chipping or peeling at all. I sanded some but not a lot. Sanded
the heavy blade more and added extra poly to it to get the balance right. Not
what you were asking for but for what it's worth..............
Jay Anderson at CloudCars is a great guy to deal with. I called him to see how
to strip the finish and he said "send it back to me and I will re-finish it free
of charge". That is what I call product support!

Attached are two pictures showing the rough propeller in work. The first shows
the scalloped area on the prop. not yet stained. As I mentioned, I only did enough
sanding to remove oils so that the stain would take. The second shows the
visible scallops with stain. You may also note the fiberglass "field" area being
somewhat rough, (the bright area on the black paint)...minimal sanding on
the fields as well.
If God is your co-pilot...switch seats.

Thank you Scott. I'll get a few finished pictures, with better close up shots of
the scallops/fields when I can.
