Hi all
I was enjoying reading the step by step on how to revive and restore the shellac on older machines and unfortunately when I tried to reply my computer froze up and I couldn't find it again...
But my specific question is: What do you do when your finish looks like this?
[ATTACH=CONFIG]416158[/ATTACH]I'm hoping you can see the section where there's a reddish reflection, because I presume that this is the only remaining section of shellac, which I know I can restore... but I'm unsure what to do about the pitting in the japanning where the metal is visible. How is it best to fill these in?
Here are a couple more pics. I think the machine is in great condition for an 1896 gal
so I'd love to preserve her beauty and make the bed a smoother surface to sew on.
Thanks!
Amelia
