Steinar,

I have to ask. How do you know how permanent it is?

Steinar · 10-23-2006, 06:08 AM

It's in the winter edition of my 'things-not-to-do-again' book, written just under 'do not stick the tongue on the Luger frame'

Hey guys, if you use this Lacquer-stik from Brownells, can it be removed later, it states on their website that it hardens and becomes permanent. I was just wondering if any of you know about this.

Thanks guys,
Jon

It hardens but easily comes out with Hoppes and a toothbrush

When I was going to shows in the early 60's where you would see
tables covered with nice $25 P38s and $50 Lugers there was a guy who was using white laquer then.

He even sold little bottles of it with instructions.

They looked kinda neat.

Chalk works fine, some of us can't afford special applicators like Brownell's and such............................B

Chalk is abrasive, slightly abrasive I know, but abrasive.... A lacquer stick lasts for many years...

Just as a point of information, decades ago, White Lead was also used at one time as a high pressure lubricant on the dead centers in a metal lathe. My lathe even has a small well on the tailstock with a "dauber" for use in its application to the lathe centers and center drilled holes on stock to be turned...

Mike C, I too have heard that the PO8 safety marking was done with white lead, so I wouldn't "kiss" your lugers in thst area. TH

White lead was infamous in the old world painting circles for killing off apprentices and assistants. No self respecting artist would mix up his own paints, but rather give the job to one of his students instead.

Anyway, white lead is still safer than radium
