Very carefully cleaning a melamine dial and they said it could not be done. Smile

Phenominal skill. Perhaps the background color is a hint. Smile

I prefer aging to a well-earned patina

Good job Phil!

You can even get the edge marks off also. I would rather not say how I do it because if one doesn't know what dial and just how to do it, you can get into trouble really fast.

There are even different Melamine dials that some can take more than others.

I look at them close on eBay, and if there are no cracks on them I buy them. Sometime really cheep as people think they are bad, and they really are not.

Regards,
Larry
