Dry with a soft clean cloth while still wet, then leave for 2–3 hours before applying. For badly marked cases, use 0000-grade wire wool with the white spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eApplication: Shake the bottle well. Apply Slate Blacking evenly with a clean lint-free cloth — do not rub in. Any small bubbles will self-level. Two coats are usual; very grey or white areas may require a third. Wipe any blacking off inlay or brass with a damp cloth before it dries. Once fully dry, buff to a high shine with a soft duster. For long-term protection, finish with a light coat of Beeswax Polish.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eBrand: Curator\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eManufacturer: Horological Solvents Ltd, Bury, Lancashire, BL9 9AH, United Kingdom\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eVolume: 120ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFinish: Glossy \/ buffable deep black\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBest Used With: White Spirit (preparation), 0000 Wire Wool (heavy marks), Beeswax Polish (final protection)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSold by \u003cstrong\u003eRedroosteruk\u003c\/strong\u003e — a trusted specialist supplier with a catalogue of over 1,800 carefully selected products serving the watch, clock and jewellery trade.
