Working With Chemicals Continued
The bluing kit also came with some rust protection and some
very fine steel wool. I used the steel wool first to make sure the surface
looked a little more even and then applied the packet of rust protection to
both of my work pieces. Inside the packet has a cloth soaked with this
rust preventive which was very easy to apply.

Here is what the frame looks like which turned out just about like I was
expecting. I did this in four sections, half and half on the front, and
then half and half on the back.

And here is the arrow which was easier to do than the frame.

The reason that you see the frame hanging from the
ceiling is because this rust preventive really stinks. I let this set
for four or five days like this, checking the odor everyday until it
died down enough to work with it again. If you ever work on a firearm with
this type of gun bluing, don't use the packet of rust preventive because
wild game will smell this stuff for miles away.

Working With Glue
I'm getting ready to glue on the invitations so I'm doing some layout
work with tape. Once I had the tape where I liked it, I could use it as
a guide while sticking my paper to my plaque.
|
|
 |
I'm using Mod Podge because it works great for paper. I've used this
before on a
pervious project which
worked very well.
|
|
 |
Just brush it on both side, and then stick it on.

|
 |
This leaf came with the wedding invitation so I decided to add it.
However, this leaf is very thin so it won't take much glue to stick in
on.
