Well with all the talent here I am hoping to get some direction to clean up 2 blistered and pock marked machined surfaces.
They are the 15 degreed angled surfaces that are the fixed and rotating parts of my 1942 Mosler Money chest.
This thing is a beast at 1600 pounds and the 20" round door must be in the hundreds of pounds range. It was poorly stored in a basement and the once beautiful polished surfaces suffered a lot of corrosion. Due to this I can't rotate the door closed, even when it was new anything on the surface could prevent rotating open/closed.
I tried a few things but doesn't make a super smooth surface. So far tried scraping with razor blades than steelwool with WD40 and than a brass wire wheel.
Material is cast steel.
First picture is after I did a clear coat (patina look) and second after I painted the interior gloss white and third is a picture of the opening. I need to get maybe a close up of the area of concern.
Thanks in advance
Sawyer
