Blackening

[ChuckJonesWagon]

It washes right off with lacquer thinner or acetone, and is certainly easier to clean up than inletting black. For that matter, I always used those same solvents to clean up the black, since it has an oil base, as does lip stick. Using the oil, I didn't end up looking like a black face minstrel by the end of the day.

I used inletting black and your right.....it gets everywhere no matter how careful I get. I've also used sharpies which I like better than inlet black, but my favorite is just candle soot.
