Stainless Steel still oxidises and discolour.(slowly) You also get stones and grit that scratch the sh!t out of dishes.

I wouldn't of done it if they didn't need it  :undecided:

alloy need a lot less work than stainless dish. Did my mates TH line centres in minutes where as my lips took 30 mins each
