I realize that the Ormolu process is avoided now because of its noxious dangers, but do you know of anyone who still might use that method in antiques restoration? It does have a certain resulting appearance that I've not observed on items restored by Electroplating. </p><p> I admit that high school Chemistry was the only class which I only barely passed with a <i><b>D</b></i>. I was a darned good student in English, History, Government and such, a moderately decent student in Mathematics & Geometry, but Foreign Languages & Chemistry were not my forte. However, what I do <i>affectionately</i> recall of my Chemistry teacher was his use of the term <b><i>horsefeathers</i></b> instead of other excrement referenced epithets; I still use it and think of him over a half-century later.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
