Default my grips were black. next step?

. . earlier today.

. . i read ed's note on murphy soap oil, and liberated a bottle from the local grocery, along with a toothbrush. i put the grips thru six soak, wash, and rinse cycles, starting with warm water and ending up with hot water.

. . i simply can not believe what was under all that grit. these grips were black. i had no idea they would turn out looking like this...

. . i have to learn how to boil linseed oil now.

. . thanks to ed and all the folks here for their help. i'm enjoying my machine.
