Yesterday I took care of that dented thing that suppose to be a boiler.
After taking both end caps away, soldering out all screw treads, knocking out all dents and cleaning it up, it was time for assambly.

First the end caps where soldered back on, then the screw treads back in, name plate on and in to the blueing agent.
Out came a nice boiler again…




Next step I did, is cutting out a 0.25mm thick sheet metal, same size as the strong corroded wafel pattern base sheet plate.
This I now have to blue.
The original wafel base plate, was already cleaned up, and is now sprayed in with Brunox.
Brunox is an epoxy, that stops it of further corrosion.
Also the new sheet will be preventive sprayed in with Brunox after blueing.
Once both sheets are ready, they will be glued together using JB Welt.
This will make the total one strong base plate again.

To be continued…
