this gets brough up from time to time, i think I finally added it to the FAQ?

Anyway, I find typewriter whiting to be too messy; i use laquer sticks from Brownells, bought 4 of them for $20 and they'll last for years, rub it in, wipe off the excess, take it out when you want with hoppes oil or the like.

I also like to take photos of the markings WITH and Without the whiting.

PS: I tried the silver and the gold sticks; gold was, uh, pimpy and silver did not photo well.
