I have a few I was thinking about making into clocks or thermometers, they are unusable due to health reasons. I want to bondo them to make them perfect, then paint a satin/semigloss black.

Would be nice to have a bracket welded on the cooking surface so you can hang it right side up.

Keith,
Don't drill the #9 Gris. Use it corn bread.

+1

I have one that was acid dipped... gone wrong (not me), one where the nickel wore off and there is tons of copper plating, and a third where someone drilled a hole and filled it with brass??

2 of them have really nice logo's but some pitting on the rest of the skillet.. so I'm gonna fill the pitting with bondo.
