frame numbers
« on: July 06, 2017, 10:36:42 PM »
Hi All
Anyone got a way of uncovering the frame numbers on a very old rusted frame.
I can just about make out 3 out of 4 numbers.
Any help is gratefully appreciated.

Use a fine scriber to get as much grot out as possible, rub in some chalk to highlight and view from different angles.
I'm sure there are other ways

Small brass wire brush on a Dremel then try brass rubbing technique. I also find that taking digital photos can help.
