Consider the beauty of natural ebony...blacks, browns...beautiful. That being said Pianotek has a black tint especially for sharps...I haven't used it...

Ok, what are my options to re-black worn ebony sharps? I have only attempted this myself once, and the stuff I used (some sort of spray black lacquer I think) did this really horrible crazing/cracking thing as it dried. A refinisher friend told me it was a result of the lacquer reacting with the finger oils that had soaked into the parts that were worn down to bare wood. She ended up having to aggressively strip all the old black off and start new. Is there any way to avoid this? Can I make then look better (if not perfect) without stripping them?
