Re: [FWDLK] Sandblast Brake Drums ?

[Tim Bowers <stellarrestorations@xxxxxxx>]

We sandblast drums without much concern for the braking surface when we know 
that they will be turned.  After blasting, we epoxy prime and paint the 
drums, and then have them turned.  No masking necessary, no harm to the 
braking surface.
