Bazza12 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Hi all. Has any one ever tried to or knows how to re-colour black bone buttons, whose tops are now beginging to show the original colour due to age/wear & tear. These belong on my 48 key English Lachenal, which I am contemplating restoration. Thanks for any replies. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mdarnton Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 I use a lot of India ink in my shop for this kind of job, but not on bone. I suspect it would do the job, though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bazza12 Posted January 1, 2019 Author Share Posted January 1, 2019 Thanks for that info. It might be worth a try. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wunks Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 You could try an ebony touch up pen (like a magic marker but made for various woods). Minwax makes them among others. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bazza12 Posted January 1, 2019 Author Share Posted January 1, 2019 Thanks for the info. I'll try that if I can find the item. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
