[Milsurplus] Black acrylic to patch wrinkle surface mil gea (Re: Milsurplus Digest, Vol 84, Issue 35)

[Henry Mei'l's]

I mentioned this on another reflector: My solution to patch  blank 
(aluminum) spots on black wrinkle surface mil gear is lightly jabbing the 
bristles of an art brush immersed in moderately viscose (gooey-sticky) 
artist acrylic black against the
surface to be patched. This simulates the original wrinkle surface. Works 
well on my command sets and my LM-14.
Going to see what happens when I apply black to acrylic to the bare spots on 
my R-390A knobs --(using ordinary brush strokes).
