Right having had a scout about the web and viewed Mark Rabys video, I still have some questions.
After sanding people advise to rough the grain with a wire brush, I have a brass suede brush which I think will be OK for the prupose ?
Do I carefully rough along the grain lines (hope that makes sense) prior to putting on the ebonising lacquer as I'm thinking that if I don't follow the grain line carefully then the gilding cream will show up in the little scratches where I've carefully sanded?
Does any of the above make sense ?
I really want to get this right.
