I recently did a woodturning demo and workshop with Nick Agar courteousy of Paul B (Wood Nut).
During the hands-on Nick showed us, and let us use, some of his Viking Silver paste.
It is distributed by a company called Chroma Craft in the USA.
I have tried unsuccessfully to order some through their website.
Has anyone had success? Or am I just not holding my tongue in the right place??

Or does anyone have a suggested alternative??

Thanks in advance.
Lyle.

Thanks Ted.
I have searched and the Baroque brand seems to have plenty of colours.
Are these what you use?

Thanks Jerry. I can get to their website it is the ordering and account that is the problem.
I had an account, but when I try to use it, nada!
Tried their password reset in case I had screwed mine, but no reply.
Tried contacting them through their website, nada
So was wondering if anyone else had the problem.I
'll source some gilding paste locally and try that.

Thanks for the replies.

I've used "Rub N Buff" in a previous life - commonly used for touching up the corners of commercial picture framing mouldings.

You should be able to get it from any half-decent art supplies store, or some bigger Spotlight stores stock it too.

As far as I remember they only had one silver, but they have many different "shades" of gold. Useful for matching to picture frame gilding.

I have some from an online business.
I'll see how it goes when I get it.
