OEM vs. AM

[link]

My theeth is old, stained and fragile, making them more white doesnt make them less old and fragile.

 

[a. palmer jr.]

Èxactly why?

Exactly why? Well, I didn't want to get political but since you asked: AM stuff generally means made in China and, although I've ordered AM stuff before, I prefer to not help China if I don't have to. Like Russia, Chinese people are probably an okay bunch but their leaders are despots...

You want it shiny and new or do you want it "original" at all cost, thats the difference of a "collector" or "user".
A user dont care for "original", he only cares for "best condition". No self pitty or glorification, just hard facts.

If you can't add anything constructive to this thread,move on please.

I’d aim for OEM on principle. I try not to buy Chinese things even if it costs more, even a lot more. Think USA made Danner boots vs Chinese copies, $350 vs $89.99. Wish that they didn’t have a corner on the tech stuff, I’d love for my next iPhone to be USA made.

Does whiten old plastic make it less old and fragalie?

A few old Remington 870 I have don't shoot any better but I still reblued them and refinished the walnut. But it didn't occur for me to ask your permission before doing it.

Èxactly why?

Because no one ever asks “How do you like my fully restored all-oem 044 with a Chinese gas tank?”.

Nice saw, Gary. I say try the peroxide treatment on your tank and mount it

Ok, does someone have details on whitening the plastic? I'd like to try this as well.

EDIT: some details here on methods to whiten plastic - https://www.howtocleanstuff.net/how...e bucket with hydrogen,and allow them to soak.

Whestley’s white wall tire cleaner helps. Great at removing pine sap.

But what if you have memories built into it, and it's your child?

When I'm building a saw to sell I will try to use all OEM, if I can't then I tell the customer what AM parts it has. When I build a saw for meself then I will try to build with all OEM but will use AM parts.

That suks. I dont do this myself because to me it just a chainsaw. But I understand why you guys that collect do it.

That stuff probably isnt all that strong % wise. I got some 35% hydrogen perioxide I bet make it white. It makes my fingers white and burn little when I get it on me. I'm suppose to wear gloves using it.
