[CAP Black]

I got and tried some lacquer stiks. I rubbed the stick on the area and got the results I wanted. The hard part is that you get it on additional areas. Took it off with brake fluid on a rag. This took off too much. I decided I needed a new tool. So I took a long stick eraser, sharpened a point on it and used it to rub on the lacquer and then apply that to the areas needing a touch-up. I left my eraser point about twice the size of a head of a straight pin. As I finished one color I cleaned the eraser really good and moved onto the next color. Be careful not to leave any crumbs of coloring on your workbench. I really needed the tool for getting to the Geishert lettering by the safety. The eraser tool is very pliable, picks up the substance pretty well and allows you to put pressure where you need it. You then have a ready made dauber for applying the lacquer. I think the gold looks really good. Sometimes I used a Q-tip for removing the excess.

Another possibility of a good material to make into a dauber is a wine bottle stopper. Not one made of cork, but the newer, rubber kind of plugs they now put in wine bottles. I don't think the cork material will do the job.
