Thread: Few restorations/modifications

Makes ya want to cry. Such meticulous work, such a good result. Bravo, dear sir, bravo!

That is a great technique for the etchings and overall beautiful work.

Very nicely done
Great write up on the process

Thank you Lewy! A great technique and fabulous workmanship!

im not sure i understand. so you
1. coat the area with nail varnish
2. scratch out the etch (what you want more defined is now 'exposed')
3. mask the varnished area with tape
4. put on a few drops of FeCL3 (which is what exactly?)
5. wait 15-20 minutes
6. wipe off and finish sanding an polish

is this right? i think i might want to use this method

also fantastic restos by the way! i am very impressed

Exectely. This is right.

Look at up line of stamp in photo:

Lewy, the quality of your work is impressive and the gift of your knowledge is very much appreciated.
I have a few old blades which need the etch renewal. You "how to" will make it possible.
Thank you again!
Dziękujemy!
