[R-390] Lacquer Stick/Pen

Mon, 08 Sep 2003 21:13:08 -1000

I have had good results with the Liquid Paper 'all purpose' Correction Pen 
available almost everywhere.  Don't laugh if you haven't tried them.  It's 
some kind of lacquer base (quick drying).  Try a little on the back side of 
knobs to make sure it doesn't attack plastic knobs before drying.  I haven't 
had any problem with phenolic type knobs.  You have to wipe any excess off 
quickly but what's left is hard and white.  It flows nicely as you squeeze 
the tube for the amount you need.  Practice with a couple old knobs and you 
might be pleasantly surprised.
My experience with the lacquer sticks is they take a long time to harden up 
good; probably better if you work slowly.
