This weekend’s fun restoration project (as well as my son’s bike that he left outside at college all year…) was my mid-90s Mag-lite. It was a casualty of covid - it stayed in a drawer a few years and the batteries leaked and cracked the case. I’ve got better and smaller lights so this was really just for sentimental reasons - I’ve had it nearly 30 years.

I ended up having to cut it open to get to the main parts.

I’ve been watching eBay for a while looking for a suitable cheap donor and finally got just what I needed. It was pretty crusty inside but came apart with a little persuasion, and the case was in decent condition and that’s all I needed.

After cleaning up the insides I replaced everything with my original parts.

Back to life!

My only problem is that in the process of trying to get good donor parts I bought a few non-working ones - which were easily repaired so I didn’t want to strip them so now I have 4!

Flying blows, but traveling to faraway place creates unforgettable memories.

Just about always worth the hassle.

strong disagree. it’s almost never worth the hassle. jet lag. getting sick. spending tons of money. tourist prices for everything. traveling so overrated.

Anyone in here ever done Angelus Sole Bright on yellowed soles?

I have in the past. This is too slow a process and the heat of the sun is too damaging on the shoes. You’re much better off building a light box. Better results and won’t heat up your sneakers. Best part is you can leave them for 24hrs at a time. I’m sure there are some vids on YouTube.

There's a reason he's gone. He was off work 3 hrs ago.

Its a sad life to live and die in the same place.

Sounds like me, but nah I’d run straight home if it’s worth it

If you think you’re going to be 89 feeling like you’re 30 and just go to sleep and not wake up, you’re playing yourself. Go see the world, and do what you dreamed of. Don’t let fear trick you and hold you back. You’re going to die and its going to hurt regardless of what you DON’T do.

Yeap
It works keep it on the sole of the shoe though and please find a way to cover the rest of the shoe because it will eat it up

Thanks, man.
Are you talking about the Sole Bright leaking down when you put the shoe upside down like I did?
I only applied the Sole Bright to the translucent sole. I just took them out from the sun and unwrapped them after 5 hours.
It doesn't seem like the Sole Bright leaked onto the rest of the shoe.
I read that it's important to keep the Sole Bright off of leather, (because it will scar the leather), and keep it off skin (burn).

On it.
You are a wealth of knowledge, my friend.
