Marc gets the gold star for pronouncing my last name correctly. Who would have thought, Marc would be able to say it right. Thanks guys for making a great show. It took me just over a year, but I have know listened to all the episodes from 1 to 467. Listening to 468 right now. I have to say episode 1 was amazing…
Face shield refresh… would it be possible to treat these like a car windshield? Fill scratches with epoxy to get back to visually clear? Possibly following up by polishing back up to the highest grit available in your shop.
