[TheForge] Chemicals- trials and tribulations

[Peter Fels & Phoebe Palmer]

I did brush it Andy, but mine failed cause the patina 
underneath lifted off.
I'd foolishly hoped that the permalac would sorta stick 
it down or hold it in place by the film strength....WRONG!
Whenever i had a dry, solid substrate, it did just fine.
On the bottle openers, corkscrews and belt buckles it 
held up well...a good test.
