Japlac
Back when I was a kid, the 5 & 10 stores sold a black enamel we used to call Japlac. I always assumed it was Japan black - like that used on old steel hardware and tools early in the century. Slapped on metal, it dried fast and left a shiny dark finish. I also assumed it was what Henry used on the Ts. Try and find the darn stuff today in this country is like looking for the proverbial needle. Google it and I get a bunch of ads from Indiamart. (seems a lot of my searches hit on Indiamart) Does anyone know of a source in this country that’s not targeted to artists and priced in $100s per gram(s)? Or did the Alphabet agencies ban this too…?
