to do a little more wet and dry to make it silky smooth again. i managed to fill the dent, cover the stamp marks, remove the little rust and make it like new again.
it sounds funny that is such a short process to explain, but the main part was the filling and sanding, which i have linked in a couple of places. the hard work pays of with plenty of patience and getting the details right.
i am delighted with the results to be honest, even if i do say so myself, which i do, and i did!
