By the way I tried chalk, China/Wax pencil, and crayon for this application. While chalk is the least resilient, it goes on super easy, the excess is simply brushed off, and it is best for refinished metal or worn down markings/crests. Crayon and wax pencil doesn’t seem to play well with worn/rounded markings, but chalk is able to fill that gap easily.
@@Vayowin nope but why do that when you oil it up... defeats the purpose... so yeah if your going to leave it chalky and with all the fingerprint stripping oils.... your gonna get a rusty pc of poo poo.
yea, I actually don't leave them all like that, I'm currently photographing the collection and want to see the markings from afar.. The best part is it wipes off easily if you are concerned.
