OrgasmDonor:
apologies to Poly, thats quite impressive :daumenhoch:

Impatience got the better of me and although i should leave it 24 hours i couldn't help but piss around with it. Just gave it a good scrub with my house key, all it did was leave a metalic residue from the key :daumenhoch:

seems ok then ???
give it a wipe off with something harsh & chemically that'll test it :daumenhoch:
oldschoolace:
More updates :)
Not had chance to try any serious chemicals on it yet but i have just beat the hell out of the seat, bent the side (logo) sections as far back as i could, tried a newly cut yale key, hit it with a hammer and smacked it against the door frame of the shed..... the result.... a rather sorry looking but nether the less still white seat :4_17_5:
It took a metalwork file to final make an impression and that was through filing half a millimetre or so of the seat away :shocked:
This stuff seems to be the nuts :daumenhoch:
Now the bad new.... i cant be arsed to spend most of the night cleaning and preping the black raleigh mag so that will have to wait til another day.
:LolLolLolLol:
However, in the interest of experimentation i decided to give this a go :daumenhoch:
More pics coming soon :)

Sounds like it's a winner then clint,if it's withstood that abuse a bit of light riding or sitting on a show bike ain't gonna do it no harm.
Just remember to buy it all up before you tell us what it is ;D
