Inletting Black

[Tumblernotch]

Stumbled on to an interesting inletting black. I always used Danglers but Klein quit making it after he bought out Homer. What with the "gothic" fad that exists these days you can buy black lipstick. Seems to work great when I don't have enough to fool with a candle.

I'm still using out of am old can of Jerrow's inletting Black. I'll have to remember that though. My daughter works at a Hot Topic and she could probably use her employee discount and get a ton of it cheap. :hmm:

Over the weekend I picked up a "hurricane lamp" for $11.99 at the local Ace hardware store.

Just used it for the first time tonight for my barrel inletting and you guys were right, it's great! I got crisp transfer marks with none of the mess of the canned manure I was previous using. The stuff is going in the garbage and I'll be using the lamp from now on. Great advice. :bow:

Just don't burn down the fort. :hmm:

I've been using "Permatex" prussian blue spotting paste since 1978 and have had no problems w/ cleanup and the wood absorption is minimal. Using a solder brush to lightly apply, it goes on fast......Fred

Inlet in a set of double barrels this afternoon using a brush to put on the inletting black as you say. Few things work better I must say. Thank you much.

Get a huge Sharpy magic marker and use it. Easy to use, not messy, cleans off
