Sporadic Dome work has commenced when I get time. I washed the inner and outer dome with Comet and a standard Scotch Bright sponge, much like I did the frame. Next up was grinding off the little tabs. Each panel has 2-3 of these from where the laser didn't quite finish the job. I've been using a Black & Decker Wizard, which is the same as a dremel. The drum sander tips work great and the tabs come off relatively quickly. I took it nice and easy, being careful not to grind off too much, and then cleaned the slag off the entire outer edge of every piece. Each panel then got its own bath.
I'll probably go back over each edge with the finer grit drum sanding tip, and them smooth them out by hand after that. I bought a few different grits of sandpaper from the Walmart auto section for smoothing out the dome.
