@Rich Wiemann posted:A question for all you tinplaters out there.
When you are resurrecting and restoring your tinplate brass handrails and whistles or nickel handrail stanchions after they have been cleaned and polished do you apply a lacquer finish?
To each his own Rich as the saying goes. For me, it depends on several factors. If a full blown true to original resto then the answer is yes. If refurbished back to original with original parts then no. In some cases I'll apply a coat of wax. Assuming the parts have been removed to be cleaned.
