Kid??? How old are you anyway, Paul? Are you 200 years old like me yet? Icon_lol

Anyway...

Progress:

I noticed as I was applying the last coat of Extra Dark Walnut toner that an area of the tape was coming loose at the bottom left, just under the front panel where the side begins to curve upward. Icon_eek

Fortunately, only a tiny bit of Extra Dark Walnut managed to get onto the Medium Walnut and was easily removed. Unfortunately, that took the Medium Walnut with it. But I'll be able to touch it up with some Medium Walnut sprayed into a spray can lid, and a small brush. No big deal.

Now I need to see if I have a proper PHILCO decal... (Edit: Just checked...and I do!) Icon_thumbup
