[R-390] Panels

[Warren, W. Thomas]

I've had quite a bit of challenge relettering panels too.  Some are OK,
but overall it's a chore and with very mixed results.

HOWEVER, one local buddy of mine came back from the Akron hamfest with
information that he'd run across a guy from the Maryland/DC area who
does a superb job of refinishing panels with crayon (maybe laquer stick)
and various steps of baking.  Evidently it's a very detailed procedure
of refinishing the panel, then doing the lettering.

UNFORTUNATELY,  the buddy doesn't have the name or phone number of the
Maryland/DC guy.  Any clues out there to who really does a superb job of
refinishing panels, essentially every time.

Any help???

lettering filled with lacquer stick?  Will the lettering set or harden
when 
baked?
