Today I finished up another box. Had to wait on parts via the mail. This box is smaller than most. You can tell by the amount of filler and the sanding that it was pretty rough. I left the original stickers in place and sanded around them where necessary. I then cleaned them up the best I could. The CASITE sticker was in pretty bad shape. Some of the edges were curled up, and parts of the sticker had come loose from the box. I used Mod Podge to glue the sticker back down to the box, and trimmed off the edges that were excessively curled and brittle. The box and all the stickers then received two coats of clear urethane to seal them.
I had a really cool old handle I stole off of another box that I thought would look better on this one. I cleaned up the mounting hardware with a wire wheel, and attached it using new brass screws and nuts. This box got new brass corners top and bottom as it had none previously.
On a side note, while this box was sitting on the work bench, I was asked a couple times what CASITE was. I did not know so I Googled it. Originally the company made an engine additive called "Motor Honey". The ad indicated it would stop engine smoking.........It looks like the company is still in business and makes similar type products.
