| | I recommend Nevr-Dull myself
|
| It comes in a big dark blue can and looks a big beige cotton ball. You tear off a piece and go to work with that. It takes about as much elbow grease but it doesn't have the very fine grit that is in Brasso. I find it leaves the pieces even shinier (...) (21 years ago, 18-Aug-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.space)

| | Re: Followup to Proposal of building theme "sequels"

| This is fun idea. I've wondered what lies beyond the SW contract for Lego Space. The LoM stuff has sorta grown on me over the last couple years and I've come to miss some the original themes. With the evolution that has come from SW parts, I'm (...) (21 years ago, 29-Apr-03, to lugnet.space)

| | Move over Brasso, Nevr-Dull is the answer!!
|
| Hey all, I've finally reached the end of my quest for the perfect process to remove printing from bricks and yet preserve their glossy finish as much as possible. Nevr-Dull is it! It works quicker than Brasso, is much easier to use, and requires (...) (22 years ago, 5-Apr-03, to lugnet.general)

| | Re: A few comments on decorated pieces

| (...) On trans-elements, use of Brasso leaves the element slightly cloudy. On those printed 2x2 slopes, printing gets into the crevice running along the sides of the element and is not at all easy to get off even using Brasso. -- Hop-Frog (22 years ago, 2-Jan-03, to lugnet.space)
