The Grail

[Pressurehead]

I have this beat up old G250 that a LDS gave to me as trash. I cleaned it up,

Please.

I have this beat up old G250 that a LDS gave to me as trash. I cleaned it up, sanded the case and then flame polished it back to something near presentable and then rebuilt it with all the latest parts. It pains me to say that it not only breaths better than my other G250s but also better than my G260s and this 156.

Ditto: Best reg I ever breathed from was an updated G250. Idiot me, I sold it...

Here it is, the G250 Graphite:



Note that it is set as primary. These two are on a Mark X. They are my dedicated beach/shore divers. They replace a nice Connie XIV set that I gave away to a young feller diver.

The G250 regs are some sort of (30%) fiber reinforced polymer and sanding the plastic raises a fuzz and makes the surface milky white. I then polish it with a flame which I find more controllable than my heat gun. Woe unto he/she who holds the flame in one spot too long is all I can say. With some luck or skill and then some Neats Oil (per Buddasummer) all is well.

I'll try the flame. Thanks for the idea. You use a lighter or something stronger? I'm nervous.
