Fdracula110 Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Hi. Just swapped my old bellows out and placed the new papers. My question is this, should I "glaze" or protect the papers in some fashion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Middleton-Metcalfe Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 I would like to know about this as well, I have heard people say its best to laquer them. With what though I have no idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Selby Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 May not be necessary. But I use Windsor and Newton 'Artists' Matt Varnish' thinned down. With an old instrument, I think it's nice to stain the papers lightly with black tea and varnish lightly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
