    Hi.

    I have just bought a 1 kilo Lunar I Dragon. However the capsule is pretty scratched up. The issue is that new Lunar I original capsules is nowhere to be found. I guess no one here is sitting one one they can sell to me?

    Otherwise does anyone know if the capsules to kilo Lunar II is the same or so to say has the same measures as Lunar I? At least that is what dealers that sell capsules say.

    I googled some and saw the he wrote somewhere in the forum he didnt have this capsule. So hoped somebody else maybe could sit on one. But didnt have too much hope.

    Yes, i have Lunar II kilos, but the capsules may have the same dimensions but a lunar II capsule is still not a original Lunar I capsules, there are differences. Maybe it doesnt matter to others, but i imagine it may hurt the resell value for me in the future if it is not a original Lunar I capsule. Or dont you think it does?

    From what I understand, there are ways to buff out acrylic capsules.

    But I'd be wary of any chemical residue, if used, even on the outside..
