I had no idea how complex your repair work was! I hate to think what would have
happened if they hadn't found you to do the work!
I can also imagine how stunned the Franklin Institute must have been when you
told them that you could fix both their automaton AND their Theremin!!! Those
are two

Use a standard drafting ruling pen,

Professional pin-stripers use a long narrow tapered brush. The brush is
charged and dragged along with the fingers of the hand used to guide and
position the brush. Each line, including the grass tufts or arcs of the corner
devices are made as a single individual stroke. Look at some YouTube
I've had good luck with Testor's paint pens. They are like a marker, but
dispense paint. you push down on the tip to start the paint. Hold against a
straight edge and "draw" just like a pen.

I have seen gold felt tip pens that work decently, the only way to make a decal
look good is to clear coat it.

Look for Frog tape, a brand of painter's masking tape that is supposed to
not bleed at the edges and so provide a crisp line.I have used regular
1/2" wide clear or frosted tape and gotten clean edges but you can't leave
it on long and sometimes will lift finish when removing it.

I'm also asking for help on stripe-ing, not stripping, I've tried pin
strips from cars (too wide), tried hand painting with masking tape (paint
bleeds under masking tape, looks bad) and free hand (worse yet, too many
cups of coffee). Ron Sitco mentioned a roller device, checked that out, it

No, it is relatively thin and you bake it to set it. May take several
dips to get it all thick enough to fill the craters in the casting not
filled by the initial filling with plaster. Was sanded between coats if
required. Final coat of asphaltum is then coated with shellac and then
stripes app
Asphaltum is thick and self leveling and takes a long time to dry?

Okay, somebody has to tell me the protocol for simple photos. I must have

Y'all really should see this!
