Book 3 — Applying and Drying Bronze Powders
Reading edition
Surfaces may be coated readily with bronze powder by applying a thin coat of shellac and quickly dusting the powder over it. Speed is important in dusting on the powder, as if the shellac hardens it will not hold the bronze. Surfaces which have been bronzed in this way may be polished if additional coats of shellac or varnish are applied over them.
