I'm also asking for help on stripe-ing, not stripping, I've tried pin
strips from cars (too wide), tried hand painting with masking tape (paint
bleeds under masking tape, looks bad) and free hand (worse yet, too many
cups of coffee). Ron Sitco mentioned a roller device, checked that out, it
starts at $100.00 (too much for the budget at the moment.. but will check
it out if anyone else has tried it and it worked. Thanks.

No, it is relatively thin and you bake it to set it. May take several dips
to get it all thick enough to fill the craters in the casting not filled by
the initial filling with plaster. Was sanded between coats if required.
Final coat of asphaltum is then coated with shellac and then stripes
applied followed by final coat. Seed lac was the specific type of shellac
used.

Asphaltum is thick and self leveling and takes a long time to dry?

You can strip a bedplate by soaking in a solution of Red Devil lye. Be
advised that the black bedplates are coated with asphaltum -- not paint.
Colored bedplates are coated with tinted shellac -- not paint.

In my opinion do not strip unless you have to, use the old paint as a
primer. You will be amazed at the casting defects in the bedplates.

I'd like a refresher on that too. Just got in a lowly model B
Standard, that's a good machine with a nice cabinet, nickel parts and
combination attachment, but some blankety-blank polished all the stripes
and umbrella signature off of it.

the posting described what chemical and how to use it as well as the

I can't find my saved copy, could someone resend or provide the
