Wow! Nice work jcp. That column looks really smooth and shiny. I've heard that Clausing had used filler on some of the cast iron pieces, I'm assuming this was sort of like Bondo body filler. If that is the case, did you take yours down to bare cast iron and redo the filler or sand the old paint off preserving the filler? I've run the turret and spacer through my Rubbermaid hot tank of Zep Purple Degreaser which stripped them down to bare metal. I did this before I realized there might have been filler on them. My degreaser and Evapo-Rust tanks aren't large enough to fit the column or knee, so I'm planning to build a 55 gallon hot tank for degreasing/stripping and a 55 gallon electrolysis tank for rust removal.
