[QUOTE="kyratango, post: 9501926, member: 5006"]Cleaning is easy, some windex or window cleaner with ammonia will do the job without harming it. I don't see metal damage unless you're talking about a slightly bent leg... For the enamel, I thought a lot about how to mend it (I'm a passionate repairer of that! Look for the kyratisations thread on the board [URL]https://www.antiquers.com/threads/some-kyratisations-aka-my-cosmetic-repairs.36028/[/URL] :)) In order to prevent the new "enamel" flowing on the body, I would fill the areas with something which dries and can be removed after repair with water dipping, leaving some depth to replace the enamel by a layer (droplets) of clear varnish (I use UV curing nail resin) mated with a fiber glass brush pen and colored with permanent marker matching the existing. Quite the kind of project I love to think about "how to":joyful:[/QUOTE]
