Dr. P,
I just talked with a friend who was quite proficient with chip repairs. His memory is failing a bit. He doesn't remember what kind of lacquer he used-"what ever I got at a hardware store." The company used Duco lacquer that was discontinued a while back. DuPont may be able to recommend its replacement. I remember Bill saying he added new lacquer to the chipped area a little at a time with a artist brush. He used a small high intensity lamp to warm the area so he could apply more than one coat at a session. Still, as Ithaca 5E posted, it is a slow process BUT the gun is certainly useable while the process is in progress.' Ithaca 5E pretty much summed it up and I certainly agree with him.
I do know that Bill's work was highly successful and one could not find the repair when he was finished. It had to be a labor of love.
