My "concern", if I even have one, is on traces of century old case colors that have miraculously remained, albeit if just in part.
Although incomplete, they still look cool enough to want to keep them. A shiny surface seems inappropriate on these, hence my question above.
I can't believe I'm about to say this, but for these I would disagree with the late great maestro Dr Gaddy.
Craigster, your method seems closest to what I would want. Here I go parading my ignorance before the world again, but I'm unfamiliar with "spar varnish". Could you please explain wht this is and maybe even a product name? Many Thanks
