Hi,

Wondering what people use to add material into the cast to pull the arching back to shape.

Workshop I worked at a while ago had a special product that was rather easy to use, fast drying and bonded very nicely with the existing plaster. However I can't remember the name or what it was precisely...

I've been doing it with regular plaster but the results are not satisfying enough so I figured I'd ask people on this sub.

Thanks in advance for the replies !

Bonjour,

J'aimerais me fabriquer quelques lampes sur pied, je veux commander le nécessaire pour le branchement électrique, donc douille, câble, interrupteur etc...

Dois-je impérativement acheter des composants au même ampérage ? Les fiches mâles qui conviendraient bien sont en 6A, les interrupteurs que je trouve sont en 2A, les douilles en 4A...

Je n'y comprends vraiment pas grand chose et j'aurais besoin de vos lumières (blague de con désolé).

Merci d'avance !

Hi,

I'm looking for a recipe to fill up the damaged areas on low value beat up violins I'm repairing then (for the most part) renting.

I'm usually retouching these areas properly but I have a few small sizes that require too much effort to look good, and it's not for selling anyway. Quick retouching jobs with overall slightly lighter colour don't necessarily look great either without decent surface touchup afterwards, so I want to try filling them up with dark putty this time and see how it goes. Obviously I don't want to cover the whole thing with varnish after filling the damaged areas.

I guess it's the same as antiquing a new varnish but I don't make much either, so I'm asking for guidance, recipes, technique and process to the good folks on this sub.

Thanks in advance for your replies !
