Basics
- A Finish Consisting of a Coating that is essentially the Lacquer equivalent of Bituminous Paint
- It was originally an imitation of Lacquerwork from East Asia (which typically used the Toxicodendron vernicifluum tree’s sap (Main relevant component was Urushiol )
- ”Japanning” wasn’t identical, but produces a similar highly durable glossy black coating
- Largely replaced by Polyurethane based coatings, however from an Appropriate Materials standpoint (as well as potentially from a Microplastics / Microplastic Pollution Reduction and Control scheme) it makes sense
- Typically common on older tools, thus some Tool Restoration YouTube channels have devised modern “recipes”
Internal Links
- Bituminous Paint
- Asphaltum Asphaltite / Gilsonite
- It gets into Terminology Hell, but Bitumen or Asphalt tends to refer to the products of Fractional Distillation / Vacuum Distillation rather than the fossil mineral source
- SUPPOSEDLY the distinction is important
