Refurbishing Gyrex salmon reel

Post by Evert van der Plas »

I made a start on a Gyrex salmon reel, not much paint on it any more and the decal is missing and have to make a new one from a old picture
Disassembled the reel and removed the paint with Dettol but make sure the knobs stay out off the Dettol becourse they solve in Dettol.
Rebuild the decal and give it a first layer black satin
