<p>[QUOTE="Barbara W. Preston, post: 1943497, member: 13943"]Have you ever tried Baroque Wax or Gilders Paste? <a href="https://www.gilderspaste.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.gilderspaste.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.gilderspaste.com/</a></p><p>You can use these and make a custom color of your liking, even using a darker mix for highlights. I use this material on the museum items I repair and have to match the color of the original surface like the French three armed candle holder with amber drop beads that had some problems. also great for coloring the gesso repairs on picture frames. I even used to restore a spelter Muse de Boise and a spelter Cinq Mars. Any place that you need to touch up the gilding (gold or silver) and other colors on antique or vintage items, you can use this wax with no fear of destroying the value of the item because it can be removed should anyone want to do so. It sure beats paint to me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
