[MF3D.FORUM:429] Sam's shellac

[narjan@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi Sam,

The liver of sulphur solution won't affect the shellaced or varnished

areas. I had assumed you were going to oxidise some new brass

parts to match existing ones.Normally, I'd remove the old finish

via lacquer thinner and/or heat ,clean the metal in an acid bath,

then dunk into the oxidant. Then clean well in water, if you want

to lighten the new finish a bit,rub with fine steel wool, clear auto

lacquer in a spray can is a pretty good finish.

 

Again, Good luck,

John Billingham
