Damaged And Rusty Gumball Machine Restoration [With a lot of candy]

In this restoration I make a trip back in time to my childhood, because I restore an old gumball machine. Many years ago, similar gum dispensers hung on the walls of houses and you could get candy from them, I was there many times :) When I saw this, I'll call it, antique gumball machine on Ebay, I had to buy it and make a restoration video.

▬ What did I do ?! ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Of course, the first step is to disassemble the old gum dispenser, which I did in 2 stages. First the dispenser itself then the coin mechanism. I remove most of the old paint with paint stripper. Using slag as a blasting medium, I blast off the rest and also so roughen the surface for the new paint. After that I spray primer on the parts, roughen the dried primer with sandpaper and paint everything in red colour. The flap for the gum outlet is aluminium, which I dent out and sand with sandpaper for a great new look. The parts from the coin mechanism are only washed, the front panel is sprayed in silver colour. The heart of the gumball machine is the storage container of the gumballs, this has a huge hole in the side. I remove the old glued plate, cut it to fit and glue it flush again. I cover the inside with cling film, so that plaster mold later is easier to be removed. (tip: do not use spray glue, as I did in the video :)). On a plate I place a pipe and the old storage container, which I fix and seal with acrylic. Then I pour plaster into the mold, let it dry, mend out some spots and sand the mold. Now my thermoforming frame, from the last video, comes into play. Unfortunately, it worked out only at the third attempt, because I simply still lack the experience in settings of the parameters (correct temperature, material thickness, ...). Now all components are ready for the reassembly, and finally just fill it with gumballs and feel transported back to the childhood :)
Delicious, these chewing gums...
