Oscar Gaddy used printers ink. Shoe polish sounds like a good option to me.

Looks like Ken Hunt's style. Remarkable!

I've used the Brownells sticks and was not happy with the results. It's a thick pasty paint stick that fills the engraving with a thick mess and wipes off with gun cleaner. I found it to be a waste of time and money. Wild Skies has it right!

Has anyone actually used this product , it appears very impressive ! Does anyone know if this Background Antique product is removable once used if you did it and didn't care for the results on a particular gun ?

You use the Vigor to remove the Antique Background. It works great. If you use it, make sure there is a lot of ventilation and use safety gloves too. It is very toxic.

Yes Russ, I've used the product, several times actually. It is the real deal. The Background Antique itself is thinner than water which allows it to flow into the finest of cuts. Yet it does not appear watered down being blacker-than-the-Ace-of-Spades. If desired, it is totally removable with the Aul-Solvent. One small 2 oz. jar of Background Antique is enough to do many guns.
I have learned through the use of the Aul-Solvent that it is susceptible to evaporating over a period of months just sitting in the jar -- even though the cap was screwed down tightly. (I did not seal the cap with plumber's tape or similar, but should have.) When it did evaporate, instead of buying another jar I substituted the Mrs'. finger nail polish remover (acetone) for the Aul-Solvent. It worked as well as the Aul in removing the Background Antique from areas I wanted it removed.
