Well, the previous discussions along this line talked about removing
the laminated front with a nichrome wire.  I believe at least one list
member reported using this technique.  The question is what did they
do after that?  Did they reapply some sort of PVA type material?  I
don't see how you could do that in a way and keep the thickness
uniform, but what do I know?  Maybe there's an easy way to keep the
thickenss uniform and then you can repair the safety as well as the
appearance.
