scoopet Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 I've just acquired a 'new' concertina with new red bushings, which I'm not into!! Has anyone successfully changed red bushings to black in situe and if so how's it been done? I was thinking of using black fountain pen ink and a very fine paintbrush but was concerned with the glue (pva?) which is holding the bushings in being compromised...... any help appreciated.... simon
scoopet Posted February 10, 2014 Author Posted February 10, 2014 'tis done.......just decided to red gloss paint the ebony ends to match.................
Stephen Chambers Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 At least the red paint on the ends should dry, but the black fountain pen ink would have been seeping out of the bushing felt forever - you'd have had black buttons and black fingertips...
Pete Dunk Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Black bushing felt is available, fitting it is hardly rocket science and although it isn't free in the great scheme of things it can hardly be classed as expensive!
