32fordboy Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 One of my favorite fossils was peeling its old vinac, so I decided to redo it. It went from nice brown to jet black instantly! I darned near had a heart attack, but it turned normal after drying out a bit. SCARY! Nick www.nicksfossils.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Scary. What did you apply that made it turn black?

32fordboy Posted April 30, 2010 Author Share Posted April 30, 2010 Just standard vinac/acetone mix. www.nicksfossils.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
32fordboy Posted April 30, 2010 Author Share Posted April 30, 2010 (edited) I think the pores of the fossil soaked up a large amount of acetone, temporarily turning it from light brown to black.
