You don't say exactly what you linish and polish, so this is probably of no use. Have you tried specialist electro-plating companies? Also, maybe you could advertise at such places as Harleyworld, custom bike shops etc? Good luck anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mecky Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Unfortunately people in that line of business tend to employ their own linishers, buffers and polishers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeffrey Shaw Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 You learn something new every day..I had no idea what "linishing" was... It's a bit like a line... Serious reply- here's what The Free Dictionary http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/linish tells me: Linish To linish is an engineering term that refers to the process of using grinding or belt sanding techniques to improve the flatness of a surface. The flatness may be two-dimensional, i.e. with the view of achieving a flat plate, or one-dimensional, e.g. with the view of achieving a perfectly cylindrical shape. The machine that does this may be called a linisher or a linish grinder. The technique may also be used, with finer grades of grindstone or sanding belt, to polish a surface. A specific use of the term linishing is for the preparation of the ends of rubber extrusions that will be fused together to make a closed loop. The origin of this word may be a Portmanteau combination of linen and finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
