Default Re: Restoring Brass Etched Labels

Hi Nick

Thanks for the pointers, some nice labels there, in fact all the labels look great.

I tried the thinned down paint technique suggested by Lawrence - really nice finish to the black parts but as usual I goofed in before it was dry..... start again....

I'm off to get some nail buffers, however I'm wondering how the paint application is done professionally I can't see a better way (in theory) that the flat surface technique and I was wondering about using a fine whetstone (?) the sort of thing that you sharpen chisels on - they look very flat over a wide area. I do have an unused one but need to find it....

Cheers
James
