Not that I'm trying to dictate or anything, just that your eventual
heirs might curse you for ruining a valuable piece.


It's not an antique. Rub it over with cellulose thinners, Jizer,
or WHY, and roller some paint onto it.


Now there's a man after my own heart.
I might go for a slightly more delicately applied finish though, if
the suggestion of one turns up.
