<p>[QUOTE="Kentucky, post: 3984606, member: 33176"]Some ancients have a rough surface texture and the wax would tend to fill in the roughness and improve the appearance. Baking the coins to dry them is an excellent idea. I have wondered about using linseed oil or a similar material since it would flow well to fill gaps and then "dry" (actually chemically crosslink with oxygen in the air) to make a plastic.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
