Can you just send the parts out and have them hard-chromed?


Actually, got a guy who will do it locally, but it is quite the
overkill. I found the Slip Plate coating at Grainger. There's one
locally, so I don't even have to order it. A 12oz spray can is $6.85,
and from what I understand will take way more than I ever plan to throw
at it. In fact, if it works as advertised (which I fully expect it
will) I'll have several more parts that will 'need' a coat.

This is by far the hardest lesson about freedom. It goes against
instinct, and morality, to just sit back and watch people make
mistakes. We want to help them, which means control them and their
decisions, but in doing so we actually hurt them (and ourselves)."
