Kevin, Sailing Anarchy, possibly the Fix It or Cruising forum recently (within the last few months) had a good discussion about rejuvenating winch drums. One of the forum contributors does the re-surfacing as a business and shared some of the issues regarding tapering the new surface and how rough to make the surface.
The winch drum wear is an issue on Calypso’s primary (Barient 36’s) and secondary (Barient 32’s) cockpit winches. My spare / parts 36’s also have worn drums or have failed drum teeth. Please report back to the list if you find the cheapest and easiest method, especially if it is DIY.

Mainly I would like to rejuvenate my Barient 24's to grip my new line better. I am looking for the cheapest and easiest solution. I am not above adding texture with a dremel to the drum or the self tailer. What has been your experience? Thanks, Kevin 30-2
