I never use sandpaper to take a shell back to metal.

I use a wirebrush on an angle grinder. It leaves less marks on the surface.

$25 for the wire brush fitting, $20 for angle grinder. A cheapy from Kmart is fine for the grinder. When its breaks, they swap it for a new one.

IMHO I wouldn't bother asking those type of questions here.

If you are REALLY serious about knowing the answer(s), ask the questions here:

and do yourself a favor and download this:
