Salopian, I spent the best part of 5 years trying to replicate "Best Birmingham Black" I eventually succeeded but it took ten variances from Angier's quoted BBB. It involved much trial and error, research and modifications to methodolgy before I could achieve excellent repeatable results. I did a set of inter war yrs Jeffery bbls for the late Mike Bonner which Jack Rowe said were as good as any he'd seen, here or back in the UK.I'm clearing up from closing my shop and my notes are in a tote somewhere in the garage. I will try to find them and will post all the trials and tribulations together with the final recipe
later this weekend.I'll probably start a new Thread "Best Birmingham Black"
