Back in 1969 the anthem was: almost cut my hair today. This afternoon it is: almost got my hands dirty today! I cleaned up after a rookie that got carried away with the Conti orange on rim number two. So squirt daddy gets the upcharge! Maybe wait, I will just send the finish clean up on to him. Here are a few pictures of the work:

Every eyelet was filled with adhesive. I'm thinking about going to the hardware store and buying 75 tapered corks to fill the void when these are built up like Andy posted a few weeks ago.

The adhesive held every spoke nipple in the eyelet and they needed to be pried out.

But old MH has a fix for Squirt daddy; these special wire brushes should clean the eyelets with some ease.
The next project is to find the right shipping box and contact Pirate Ship to get these to the left coast. Smiles, MH
