The Restoration of the Bakelite Housing

There are three grads of Bakelite, the base of the twenty ‘Fingers’ is smooth like a chocolate and very strong, withstand hammering and easy patch up by epoxy, then painted in dark brown.

The second strong and tight Bakelite housing is the 30 holes socket frame, it also mounting the locking plate, but all steel parts are rusted away, had to replace all screws and nuts.

The best way to fill the damaged Bakelite is by epoxy, fill the dents or rebuilt the shape, sand smooth when dried, sometime paint the transparence patches by model color.

When satisfied apply one or two layers of gloss clear spray.
