[TR] Repairing Cloisonne badge

[Mark Hooper]

Hi Stan:

Thanks for the link.

And to think I was in the neighbourhood in January.

Still, I am really trying to avoid making Grandpa's axe (it's already too
close to Frankenstein's monster) :^)

I'll have a go at fixing the original, but at least I know there is a backup
in case of disaster.

Cheers,

Mark

You can get a new enamel badge for around $50 plus shipping. See 1st page in
the TR Shop flyer.

My TR6's grill badge needs repair. A fair bit of the enamel has come away,
although the rest of the badge (chrome etc) is in very good shape. Has
anybody
had good luck filling in with some readily available substance? Epoxy etc?
POR+topcoat?

Somehow I suspect that I should avoid scraping out the entire badge and then
getting black glass powder and firing in a kiln...
