I Restore a Vintage MASK Jackhammer Box Using Common Techniques - Kenner 1980s

Ойын-сауық

In this video, I restore a vintage Kenner Mask Jackhammer box which was kindly gifted from Andy @Holochronicles.
When I say box, I really mean a flat crumpled ripped piece of card, but after applying some commonly known techniques, we finally force it into a glorious original box from the 1980s.

    Absolutely stunning, Dave! This video is so superbly done in so many different facets and areas that it would just take me far too long to mention all of them. But suffice it to say, I don't really have a huge interest in vintage toys, I don't know anything about MASK and didn't realize it existed until recently, and I just spent close to 20 minutes watching someone restore cardboard. And I was hooked and loved it! And by the way, you have more patience than any adult man I have ever met in my life! So excellently done, so perfectly filmed, so superbly edited. and engrossingly entertaining. Great work, Dave. And I definitely would watch you restore that plastic truck as well!

    And now for the price tags, just soak them in gasoline by dabbing them with a cloth. When soaked, just peel them of slowly. The gasoline dissolves old tape residu much quicker then lighter fluid, and leaves no marks.

    Hey Bobby! 👍 Interesting question! I have wondered how best to restore scratched bubbles but have yet to experiment. I think a buffing compound is a reasonable technique - I would definitely try on a test bubble first, and rub gently as you don't want to introduce new dents, it's surprising how course some of those compounds can be. I might have to experiment - could make a good video too 🤘
