Ok so it`s not exactly building rods or tackle but recycling old i suppose.
I love old style floats....graylings,fluted avons,porcupine quills etc.....
i have a collection of several floats that have cracked paint (not chipped) and could do with some tlc,as well as some that are in tip top condition.
My question(s)....is it just a case of painting over the cracks??? do i rub the paint down first with sandpaper??? will the old cracked paint have to be completely removed first??? if so how??? if it`s a case of just painting over the cracks,how much paint can a float take???
