Has anyone seen the formula for the old time casting filler? From our previous discussions I understand it was a mixture of lamp black and shellac, but what would the ratio have been? I want to do some experimenting.
I am starting to think that the Tod Engine as delivered was not painted at all but just had a coat of the filler on everything. This explains an old pic of a Tod blowing engine that appears to have a very dark semi glossy finish. If this is so that would rule out using bondo for filler.
