hi guys (and girls), the black bakelite impeller on my single tub miniwasher Cordes 601 got somewhat rough and grayish (blunt) over the years. How can I restore that black glossy smoothness? Ideas? | ||

Most worn Bakelite cannot be polished once the shiny outer layer is worn through. Underneath is the wood flour/phenolic resin mix, and it won't take a shine. I used a clear enamel on my RCA Whirlpool agitator and it came out pretty good (except for the runs). I know others have had good results with clear enamel as well. Haven't tried to run the machine as yet with the refinished agitator, though. | ||
