I also did this a few times about two and a half decades ago, but like
Drew says, it wasn't to fix a pitted hub, but to try to get a middling
hub to run as smoothly as a new campy hub. We used jewlers' rouge. We
didn't hesitate to ride a few weeks this way. Normal bearing
adjustment. Never heard of this helping with pitted races, but if it
works let us know.
