<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Deacon Ray, post: 2536482, member: 81896&quot;]Excellent websites, TIF! Thank you for these! Yes, definitely one has to draw the line between <i>moderate expert restoration </i>and changing features with the intent to deceive. I&#039;m okay with the expert removal of encrusted organic and mineral matter. The key word is <i>expert. </i>Removing corrosion around the high surfaces is acceptable. Tooling to create features which are not there is unacceptable. As far as toning is concerned, I really have no strong feelings against it. I would never do it myself. As far as painting the high surfaces, unless it&#039;s done specifically to educate, I think it shouldn&#039;t be done. Another technique of applying toning and wiping off the high spots in order to contrast features, again If it&#039;s done expertly, I really don&#039;t have strong feelings against it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
