[R-390] Lacquer stick

[Cecil]

Bob I use lacquer stick on my rebuilds, it's easy, long lasting and I haven't had any problems with yellowing as some report.

I don't usually fill the engravings until the panel or knobs paint work are fully cured and can stand some rubbing. (Weeks) I usually fill the engravings heavily and let it set for a few minutes then wipe over them with a clean white cotton cloth to take the excess off then roll to a clean spot on the cloth and buff over the panel area and engraving to sharpen up the engraving then let set overnight.  If more cleaning is necessary I might wipe over the area quickly and lightly with the same type cloth lightly dampened with lacquer thinner.  Usually I don't have to resort to the last step.
