Listers,

Have any of you folks come up with a satisfactory method of recoating =
old sharps that is also cost effective?  Long ago, I tried black dye, =
followed by muliple coats of black lacquer from a can, and finished with =
a few clear coats.  I was never really satisfied with the results, even =
after rubbing down with steel wool.  It always looked less than =
professional to me, and I went to advising people to replace with =
plastic sharps, especially if I was replacing the keytops too.

I now have a customer who is insistent on keeping the wooden sharps (I =
haven't seen them yet, but I don't think they are ebony), and I'd like =
to come up with a refinishing method that looks better than just decent, =
without having to set up a spray booth and compressor, which I can't =
really do.  What's your experience?

Thanks,

Randy Rush
