In this episode of Experiments in Japanning, I test out my custom concoction on a set of R. Heinisch #7 shears that I picked up on eBay!
Long story short: It was an overall success! Some learning points to be had, but the recipe came out smooth, glossy and seems to be very durable and scratch-resistant!
I dipped my pieces rather than brushing or spraying the japanning onto them, the way Singer, Ford, and probably Heinisch or Wiss did in their factories.
While the mixture was drippy, it leveled out very smoothly, and with a bit of attention was easy to overcome by wiping it away while setting.
I need a better camera for shooting at night indoors. This thing gets so crumby looking after dark.
