Need Help Stencil Lettering On Glass

[klmiller611]

It isn't dead yet. Yes, It has been dying for some time but there are more of us old-school "Signwriters" out there than one would suspect. The craft is enjoying a resurgence of young and old alike that have become disenchanted with what has become the norm and current state of the industry as a whole.



Unless you have some old can or cake of the "original formula", you could dull or scratch the glass. That was the gold standard for eons. The original formula was discontinued some years ago. Read the label on the newer stuff. "Gilders Soap" is what we use now. Apply a lather of the soap...clean the glass thoroughly...let dry...buff off the dry soap (No water clean-up or other garbel). Nothing works better!

Just out of curiosity and my interest in old products. Bon Ami discontinued the cakes some years back, but do offer cans presently of the "original 1886 formula" is that what you are referring to, or is even the 1886 formula a modifed version?

The original formula powdered form was also discontinued not long ago but I see now that it is available once again.

My father always swore by it for cleaning windshields, if you are serious about them, PM me. I also think about the Don Knotts movie "The Ghost and Mr. Chicken" which talked about bloodstains on the organ keyboard that they could not remove "and they even used Bon Ami!" LOL
