If you haven’t done one already, would you be able to do a WW on Norton springs? Especially ways to repair posts that previous techs wrecked with oversized needle springs?
Friends, excellent description of technics, as always!! Let me explain my own technique regarding recovering an almost imperceptible logo and difficult to recover it is to use a 20X magnifying glass and a head viewer with sufficient magnification that allows us to see well what we are going to retouch with the needle pencil. The best technique I have tried in such situations is not to move the stylus over some fine line or small letter, but to stipple dot by dot short stretches of such lines or letters. The result will be more controllable depth and assurance that the pencil with stylus or needle won't slip outside of the design. You place a point at the beginning and end of a small straight line, if this is long you can place as many points as you think necessary and then yes, link point by point. The control is absolute doing it in such a way and by obtaining greater depth in a second pass they will achieve a perfect golden or silver logo, always following the subsequent indications as explained by the teacher. Technique, patience and a little luck. successes!! Silverio...from Argentine Patagonia.
The methods your using resemble the techniques often used by oil pastel artist will employ when working with more woven or chain laid surfaces, in either paper or textile substrates. It makes for differing flow rates of pigments dependant on the overlay the individual is trying to achieve. Usually it's solvents for the media, but heat can also be employed for high builds.
Yes and no, if it's a hard rubber piece it's a possibility. usually the logo is where the ligature is placed so it may be tough to fill in. If the table hasn't been leveled too much it may work as well.
Ok but what about a wood clarinet? Like a professional Buffet Prestige? Don’t know about this video… imagine a middle schooler with a nice clarinet doing this
Hey, do you think you could do a Wednesday wisdom on the diverse uses of masking tape in the band instrument repair world sometime?
Stay tuned! Ryan is working his magic!

You bet! We'll add this to the calendar for July!
Would a hair dryer work if we don't have a heater like yours?

Thank you for the great tip!

What a cool comparison you noticed!
Can the same be done on a Berg mouthpiece? #clarinetlogo
