Birth of the Blue Missile

Joe,
the VP is from harbor freight, however the media is from tractor supply and is called "Black Beauty" and is more aggressive than glass beads for polishing.The key to good results with the VP is patience, I left most batches in for 24 hours some for 48. yes the results are great the steel comes out shiny and black, most importantly the threads are clean.
The gasket package was an Ebay thing, I payed $179 and they are "super soft"gaskets, quality looks good, I also picked up a front windshield gasket a month ago someone had left over from a project, moments after it was posted for $50.
People keep telling me about "Safelight" putting in a new windshield for $200, that really works for me.
