NIGROSENE how in the world do you use it??

[fmblizz]

Is there any tutorials on how to use/apply NIGROSENE... I have a bedplate on a Edison Standard Model F that has a blister about the size of a quarter. Can't find too much info on the net about the technique when using NIGROSENE.

Any members have much experience with the process??

Eric Reiss talks about using it his "Compleat Talking Machine" book...

Here's what I've done in the past:

- Clean area with paper towels and paint thinner (mineral spirits), sand area with 400 wet & dry sandpaper.

- Dissolve a tiny bit of Nigrosene powder into alcohol & stir (add enough to make it really dark - it really shouldn't take that much)

- Mix dissolved Nigrosene into small amount of amber shellac. (I've even added the Nigrosene directly into shellac with no problems.)

- Use a small brush to cover the spot in question. Repeat to build up area after shellac dries in about an hour. Repeat as needed.

- Let the area cure for a couple of weeks until it is hard enough to sand with 400, then 600, then 800 wet & dry autobody sandpaper. Then polish with auto body polish.

That's pretty much it, unless you're going to shellac over the whole bedplate as well. Good luck.
