<p>[QUOTE="TomCorona, post: 639740, member: 17621"]Glad to clear the confusion Boss. Agree about online print, though I am usually sarcastic by default but wasn't meaning to be towards you there. </p><p> Hey, I understand your apprehension about my method here. I guess if you really wanted to test this way, varnish a trash wheatie, bake it on to accelerate/simulate time and recoat it again if you like. You ought to get close enough to your 1911 condition, then try that one. I never looked too closely at the WD-40, so not sure of the comparison but you could be right. It looks good to me and I know that's not enough reason to try but, as I said originally during the fiasco..my childhood best bud is the one who first told me about it whose coin knowledge I'd pit against probably anybody in here. The guy can spot tiny trinkets of gold in piles of junk trays flea markets without ever looking at it up close or picking it up. He's the same w/coins..has been into it heavy even when I was a kid some 40 plus years ago, and what he knew even then was ridiculous. Point is between him and my own experiences (though mine is admittedly comparatively limited), I'm comfortable with my conclusions. </p><p> Anyway Boss...obviously your decision and very easy to understand your hesitation, but simply because it's not an "accepted" (whatever that means ) practice shared by the masses, doesn't mean it isn't worthy. Somebody might someday tell me that grasshopper urine works great, and unless I definitely know different, hey, he might be right. I'd like to think I have an open mind and anything is possible until it is disproven, and, it ain't been disproven to me yet.</p><p>Stay sarcastic brother and peace out![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
