[QUOTE="kyratango, post: 4322656, member: 5006"]Ouch! This beauty is completely dry... you won’t be able to mend the crackles, but I’d use polish on a Qtip for the metal and plenty of clean other ones to rub till the decor shines. For the shell, it is glued on wood, any strong rub risk to detach small parts :nailbiting: A droplet of thin oil (baby oil, sunflower oil... not olive or paraffin) on a makeup blush brush may improve its dried look:) (repeat if necessary, rather than overloading the brush!)[/QUOTE]
