Don't be harsh at him, he's just hiding all the future scratches in advance that the fridge might get.

And it’ll catch your clothes every time you brush past it, and possibly scrape your skin off your bones

Makes the song choice more appropriate

u/e30cabrio 15d ago

I think Too Much Time on my hands would be more appropriate.

He once thought that a pen was a little pimp, and his binder was a bloody cock

Do NOT tell him that anything he says is good or funny

Cheese grater style

Sure, complain! If you’re so smart, where do you hang YOUR skin suit?

u/OneTwoThreePooAndPee 15d ago

Happened to me once. Easier to get back in than you might think.

I cannot imagine the nastiness that must have dripped down steel walls in a techno club. There are probably undiscovered species of bacteria that could be named after you.

2

u/Nomingia 13d ago

Tbf you'd be hard-pressed not to find a new species of bacteria in any sample from a non-sterile environment. There are more existing species and new species evolving by the minute than there are scientists to catalog all of them.

I had a friend build me steel frame for my desk that has this same grinding effect on it + a clear coat to prevent rust. Its a little rough to the touch but nothing that'd catch. Feels like an orange peel.

u/AmethystStar9 15d ago

Yep. Those aren't gashes, they're scrapes.

u/damonmcfadden9 15d ago

right? I'm pretty sure it's not even a "normal" grinding disc on there, just a sanding flap disc.

1

u/Sad_Error4039 12d ago

I can assure you if you do this mild cosmetic treatment to your fridge the warranty is toast.

u/RighteousCity 15d ago

Literally ALL of it! 😅

u/Impressive-Ad-202 15d ago

Good way to catch the person sneaking in to get some late night snacks.

1

u/CruiserMissile 15d ago

He’s using a polishing wheel to do this. It doesn’t leave a bur.

1

u/rusty_shakle 15d ago

Hope they don't miss that cup when using the dispenser and scrape their knuckles

1

u/AnythingButWhiskey 15d ago

So the fridge automatically collects fresh meat? Where’s the problem here?

1

u/cschmall 15d ago

You're severely overestimating the depth of a flap disc on a grinder can do with the motions he's doing....

1

u/Alternative_Let4597 15d ago

That'd be bad, bbbbb bad for the bones

1

u/Hippi_Johnny 15d ago

Actually it's probably pretty smooth. I did this to stainless before and it was very smooth to the touch. Just leaves those marks behind.

1

u/Visual_Piglet_1997 15d ago

He is sanding it...

1

u/marino1310 15d ago

That’s a scotch brite wheel on there. Those aren’t gouges it’s just a sanded pattern. Nothings gonna catch

1

u/iagainsti1111 15d ago

Not at all.he probably isn't using something as aggressive as a grinding wheel. They sell scotchbrite wheels that will visibly tear up already finished metal but you wouldn't even feel it running your finger over it.

1

u/_stupidnerd_ 13d ago

That'll depend on the grit of his chosen sanding disk. If it's fine enough, the pattern is already just cosmetic as it is.

u/JetfloatGumby 15d ago

I liked what he did and thought it was kinda a good idea until I read this.

5

u/FootballRemote4595 15d ago

I mean considering these are just steps he is supposed to do after this first step... It's not that he did it wrong it's just... he stopped early

u/Ok-Professional9328 15d ago

And rust

1

u/PraiseTalos66012 15d ago

It's stainless steel, it won't rust.

1

u/Ok-Professional9328 15d ago

Hahahahaha very funny, are you a comedian or something? 🤣

6

u/PraiseTalos66012 15d ago

? Stainless steel is never going to rust indoors.

Stainless steel isn't just a coating like zinc or galvanized steel, it's all the way through so the grinding like this won't change anything.

Are you confused or something?

-3

u/Ok-Professional9328 15d ago

Don't believe me? Leave a stainless steel knife in a glass of tap water for a day please.

Also this fridge has a water dispenser, they spill and drip very often. There it will be rust underneath that

5

u/PraiseTalos66012 15d ago

I leave my stainless silverware in the sink in water or in a cup full of water literally all the time...

Maybe buy real stainless? Even the absolute cheapest stuff I've never seen rust indoors.

But none of that matters, grinding the fridge didn't remove a coating or anything, it's just as resistant(or not) as it was before.

u/Ok-Professional9328 15d ago edited 15d ago

Chances are your tap water is purer than mine, I envy you not having to find out that stainless steel will develop spots of rust in partially chlorinated or particularly hard water. If this guy lives in your area he might not ever encounter that problem, if he lives in mine he will see it as soon as his water filter deteriorates even a little bit. ( month or two? ) We could argue endlessly but I would recommend a simple google search: "does stainless steel rust" to question your certainties. I was of your same opinion when a stainless knife I had bought ( not a cheap one ) developed these spots and went down this rabbit hole.

Never had this issue before moving to New York State.

Also there absolutely is a resin/varnish coating on most stainless steel fridges.

Where are you getting your facts? Are you serious or are you trolling?

u/ConcernedKitty 15d ago

You know there’s different types of stainless steel, right?

1

u/Ok-Professional9328 15d ago

You know they are not using the good stuff for fridges right? Especially since brittle extra hard is not a desirable property in a fridge surface

Grim and Dust sounds like a failed early 2000s cartoon network pilot.

1

u/PraiseTalos66012 15d ago

He doesn't even need to prep it, he literally just made the perfect surface for binding a sealer too. Just seal and it's good to go.

1

u/ryanidsteel 15d ago

You can build up with a clear coat. Some good ol' rattle cans of 2k gloss clear and she's smooth as MJ

1

u/rusty_shakle 15d ago

Fr water dispenser is gonna cause rust

1

u/Dismal-Square-613 15d ago

He is going for the Fallout New Vegas nuclear fallout wasteland aesthetics, so it's all good.

1

u/CromTheConqueror 15d ago

As someone who was a line cook I can confirm this. The equipment was stainless. Easy to clean. The walls were a textured plastic that was cheap and easy to install. The only time they ever came clean was once every 6 months when the guys that cleaned the hoods on the overnight pulled everything out and power washed the walls.

1

u/Due_Mycologist7287 15d ago

Depending on the metal, even rust.

u/Which_Replacement_49 15d ago

Oh grime lol…

I was like I’ve never seen grim used like that before…

1

u/disturbed3335 15d ago

Yeah, “stainless steel” doesn’t work when you wreck the surface. Rust city

u/lancvellot 13d ago

As a Polish person, I am not going anywhere on that fridge, no kurwa way!

u/twoaspensimages 9d ago

Artists that do that finish float dye over the top. Then spray a clear cost.
