Jens,

In regard the 2 part coating, glisten PC, great idea. What do they like for surface prep; white metal or can this product go over an existing finish such as the wax oil combo ?

Thanks,
Peter

Hello All,

I recently completed a door knocker as a gift for friends that live on the coast of Maine Other pieces that I have sent to the coast have developed rust on their sharp edges after a short period in the elements. I used the standard bees wax and linseed oil. I need a better coating soulution but I want to maintain the look of the forged Iron as opposed to the flat black spray paint solution. One looses considerable detail in a piece when we go with the paint. Thoughts?

Rgds,

Alcon,

Thank you all for your research and suggestions. The answer appears to be build as opposed to buy. I am off to the shop.

Hello all,

I am not getting consistent results while freehanding scrolls; repeatability becomses a hit or miss proposition. My thought is to produce or buy a scrolling rig of some sort. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
