    Stainless Stove finish

    Thanks Guys I appreciate the information. I used 220 to remove the scrathes, then 320, then 400, all by hand. The original finish did look as if was not made by long brushing method but more like the short grain line. The lines also, seemed to criss-cross, creating diamond shapes. Mike

    How to Wire a Humidistat to a Thermostat
