Fine sandpaper and a lot of patience ;)
you need to lap flat then use progessivly smoother paper to about 1000 or 1200 grit then buff with buffing compond.
Mini guide for everyone who like mirror finish
That evap was done in about 10 min, quite fast. It depends how messy is base.
Evap base..

Evap base ater 4minutes with 800 paper, previous was ready in one minute but this was more messy.

1200.. about 1-2 minutes

2000.. 2 minutes

raven, why do you bother in having a mirror finish with chemical products??
its unnecesary that you see yourself on the base of an evap, you need it to be just flat.
those mirro maker paste just add stuff to make cooper shine, but that stuff actually may harm the heat transfer when you use it.
i would just use the sanding paper, actually 2000 is more than enough. clean with some alcohol and you should be fine.
Hmmm yeah... I dunno if anythings happening with the free-vaps.
Because it looks good and its easier to clean, and you propably wont see any difference between polished and unpolished surface. Like you said, i think even 1200 sandpaper is enaugh.
Freevaps in the works we had a winner and I need machine tme to get them out..

^ that base is REALLY thin, how you planning on mounting it?
I like it, just cut the evap at half.Quote:

^hows that work? i see holes on top and bottom... does suction come right through the block? or is the cap tube to be on the bottom holes with the freon ascending up the sprial?
Seems that is more like that...Quote:

So I have to drill a hole at the pipe, it'll make the evap not too pretty but it should work well I think. Manage to size 0.05 sqinch for oil return and good expansion space.
you could put a single end [cut dual end in half ] end mill bit in a drill press with a vice to hold the part [we have a drillpress vice that is like a 'milling table " so the part can be moved while it is on]
then you can make crap easier
Hmm, i'd be careful with the clone wording, chilly has a copyright on his blocks if I remember correctly:fact:
As far as I know, he doesn't mind people reproducing them, so long as it's for personal use, not commercial.Quote:
