I have an old "Bell System" tool box made out of fibre, I want to make
it look like new,anybody familiar with this type of material?
The manufacturer wants too much info,I just want to know how I can
refinish it.

By fibre, do you mean fibreglas, carbon fibre like my ski poles, or
what?

Best darn tool cases ever produced. I wouldn't know how to refinish it
but it's something that can be handed down through the generations so
I'd never get rid of it. I wish I had one. :-)

The manufacturer wants too much info? That sounds like you tried to
fill out an online form. Have you called them on the phone?

I don't think they're made the same way with the same materials any
longer. I did bookmark the site and start scheming about how to get one. ^_^

I just sent them an email with the pictures of the tool box,they did
answer my first email,that was nice of them. I repaired many a phone
line with this little box.

If you want tech support, you pick up the phone and ask for tech
support. It's by far the easiest and fastest way. Anything else is
just dicking around.

Looks like the same sort of stuff that I had with a Crown Graphic
press camera. I remember taking a rag and some ammonia cleaner to it,
nothing more, just to get the grease/dirt off of it.
