Saturday Night Contest / roundtable + Doug McKenzie
Tonight is Saturday, December 6th, and earlier this past week a video was posted in the media section featuring Doug McKenzie in the new show FRINGE on Fox. As producer for David Blaine and close friend of Bill Kalush, Doug sees more magic than just about anyone and has expertise in all areas of sorcery.
Tonight, we'll be holding a special edition theory11 roundtable discussion with Doug. This is our eleventh recorded roundtable discussion, with past discussions available in the archive.
Ask any question you wish - everything is fair game. We will select some of the best questions to be answered live in a podcast posted tonight at 11:30pm EST. Questions should be relevant, topical, and appropriate in order to promote a great discussion on card magic, working with DB, Flicker, New York City, magic on television, coin magic, Flicker, and everything in between. And Flicker.
All questions must be submitted on or before 10:00pm EST. One random member whose question is asked during the podcast will receive a 6 pack of Split Spades, shipped on the house. Ask away, and look forward to having a great discussion tonight.
UPDATE : This roundtable discussion has concluded. Listen to it now at THIS link.// jonathan.bayme

Regarding cards. As anyone that performs knows, it can be more difficult to successfully entertain an audience with cards alone. What, in your opinion, makes an interesting routine with cards? Story line? Certain style of effect? (i.e. full deck story = Sam the Bellhop)
Steve- Simmons Magic - - #7
What is your favourite principle in any area of magic? Obviously don't explain it, but what it allows you to do and why you like it would be awesome.

Pride Parade.
I sat down with my grandma one night to talk about books and life, She told me that when she was young, She remembered a time when she could go to jail for marrying someone white.
I don't know much about politics Except for what I see in the news but I have a hard time trying to understand such blatantly blind hate over people who are in love.
And here I am at 26, and I am excited the day When I can say I was alive during such a pivotal time And I fought a really good fight to make sure everyone I knew had The same inalienable rights.
It has been a long term goal of ours once we get to shoot a gay wedding. (if your gay and getting married give us a call! :-) ) to get an F/stop float in the pride parade. I say this for a few reasons 1. Because one day we will look like abolitionist shooting gay weddings before it was legal and two because pride parade is the most fun of all the parades! It's so colorful and these massive groups of people are friendly and offering hugs, prayer, and support. It is so wonderful to be able to see such an insane amount of beautiful people all rallying together in celebration of love, diversity, tolerance, and having a good time. I get so much joy shooting it every year that I look forward to it all year long. Here are some of the photos I took at this year's Pride Parade.
2 Responses to "Pride Parade."
[...] my favorite events of the whole year is always Pride parade. We have been photographing it for the last three years and now I can't imagine my summer [...]
I could not refrain from commenting. Very well written!

by Dan Mitchell
posted Nov 4 2009 7:02PM
It was an awesome set on "The List" tonight. Rocks 7 Greatest Drummers were hard at work making the room shake! I must tell you, it was a tough call for me on the top two. It's probably one of those if you ask me again tomorrow questions...I might just change my mind. Here is "The List" tonight-Rocks Greatest Drummers;
7-Ringo Starr-Phil Collins, Max Weinberg huge fans. Max says he is one of the top Five drummers...period.
6-Stewart Copeland-Intricate, textured...unpredictable!
5-Ginger Baker-Pure Power and Presence
4-Bill Bruford-With King Crimson, Yes and Genesis on tour-a master of Progressive Rock
3-Keith Moon-Frenetic, Flamboyant, Brilliant!
2-Neil Peart-With Rush and the worlds largest Drum Kit-True perfection.
1-John Bonham-Just listen to Good Times Bad Times...Nuff said.
So, that's it...that's The List. Tomorrow night at 7 I'll spotlight The Mountains top 7 female vocalists. Number one may surprise you. Join me!

I won't fight you on Aimee Mann if you include Joni Mitchell in the top 7. Big Yellow Taxi is a great example of her vocals and radio listenable even by the mountains standards.

Deputy US marshal accused of blowing agent's cover
Deputy US marshal accused of sharing undercover agent's ID with father charged in drug case
A federal magistrate has set a $75,000 bond for a South Texas deputy U.S. marshal accused of blowing the cover of an undercover drug agent to his father.
Federal prosecutors say the father is accused of being part of a drug trafficking organization.
Deputy U.S. Marshal Lucio Osbaldo Moya stood alone in a blue golf shirt and jeans Tuesday as a federal magistrate outlined the allegations against him and set terms for his bond.
The 29-year-old Rio Grande City man is charged with being an accessory after the fact and obstructing justice. If convicted of the accessory charge, he could be sentenced to up to 20 years in prison.

Johan Steele Life NRA,SUVCW # 48,Legion 352
1861 Ordnance Manual requirements stated the following Infantry accoutrements: Cartridge box, cartridge box plate, cartride box belt, cartridge box belt plate, cap pouch, bayonet scabbard, waist belt, waist belt plate & Gun Sling. Accoutrements were shiped seperately from the "stand of arms" which included the long arm & bayonet. One of the arguments in re-enacting today is just how common the Enfield bayonet scabbard really was, by study it appears to be a modern re-enactorism to see so many in the ranks. The most recent research shows they should only be worn w/ English manufactured accoutrements and frankly more common in CS useage. Of note on slings, the majority of slings used by the US were of the same length as used for the Springfield M1842 & M1855/61 series of arms. Thus they were a touch short for the Enfield but still worked well enough. There is argument as to if the Brits sold the CS any slings for the P53 series arms, though there is evidence some were on blockade runners so at least some English made slings for Enfields made it into CS service add to that the CS did manufacture of canvas/leather combo slings. The P53/56/58/61 were all designed to be slung muzzle down while US manufactured arms were the opposite. That said I have seen quite a few original CDV's of Union soldiers w/ slings and probably as many w/out. Also keep in mind at the time of the CW the sling was not intended to be used to steady the weapon as became common later on. |

Russell Brand Unfollows Ex Katy Perry On Twitter
First Published: May 13, 2012 6:40 PM EDT Credit: Getty Premium
LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Russell Brand has taken the ultimate (or at least, trendiest) step toward cutting all ties with soon-to-be ex-wife Katy Perry – the actor/comedian unfollowed Katy's Twitter account earlier this week.
While followed by 4.6 millions Twitter users, Russell's elite "following" list is now down to just 77 people, including "Get Him to the Greek" co-star Jonah Hill, Rainn Wilson of "The Office" fame, Ellen DeGeneres and Conan O'Brien.
And Russell's not the only celebrity engaging in Twitter politics.
Pop princess Rihanna unfollowed ex-boyfriend Chris Brown on Wednesday evening, just hours after Chris released a remix of Kanye West's "Theraflu" (now re-titled "Way Too Cold"), in which the hip-hop star raps a less-than-flattering line about the promiscuous ways of his "old [expletive]."
Chris unfollowed the "Where Have You Been" singer shortly after Riri axed him from her Twitter list and seemed to address the situation on Thursday, Tweeting, "Assumptions! I didn't say any names so if u took offense to it then its something you feel guilty about."

Governor Announces Appointments to Task Force
September 19, 2012, Juneau, Alaska – Governor Sean Parnell today announced appointments to the Task Force on the Crimes of Human Trafficking, Promoting Prostitution, and Sex Trafficking. Established by Senate Bill 210, the task force addresses serious crimes that violate the most basic human rights and personal freedoms. The group will examine the prevalence of the crimes of human trafficking, prostitution and sex trafficking in Alaska and the services that are available to victims of those crimes.
"This task force is a part of our ongoing efforts to increase the safety of Alaskan homes and the strength of Alaskan families," Governor Parnell said. "By combining the resources of the State of Alaska, local and federal law enforcement, community nonprofits, social service organizations, and the faith community, the work of this task force will protect Alaskans from being victimized and exploited."
The task force is composed of representatives of the attorney general's office, the Department of Public Safety, the Department of Health and Social Services, and two members who represent nongovernmental organizations that provide health and social services to victims of these crimes.
Michelle DeWitt is the executive director of the Tundra Women's Coalition (TWC), a domestic violence shelter and service provider in Bethel. She has both lived in Bethel and worked for TWC since 1997. She earned a bachelor's degree from Creighton University. The TWC is committed to promoting a healthy social environment for the women, children and men of the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta and currently includes a 30 bed emergency shelter, community outreach, children's advocacy center, transitional housing, and programs for teens and children.
Gwen Adams, of Anchorage, is the pastor of Women's Ministries at ChangePoint Church and has spent the last 24 years in women's ministries and programs. She earned a bachelor's degree from Multnomah University. She is part of a startup initiative of the "Priceless" program that fights sex trafficking with prevention, demand reduction, intervention, and long-term care of victims.

Etta James Funeral Planned; Al Sharpton To Eulogize
First Published: January 24, 2012 3:53 PM EST Credit: Getty Premium
NEW YORK, N.Y. -- A public viewing will be held Friday for singer Etta James, and the Rev. Al Sharpton will eulogize the late legend at a private funeral Saturday.
A statement from Sharpton's representative Tuesday said the funeral will include performances by celebrities, but those names were not announced.
James died last Friday at age 73 after battling leukemia and other ailments, including dementia. She was most famous for her classic "At Last," but over her decades-long career, she became revered for her passionate singing voice.
The public viewing will be held in Inglewoodand the funeral will be held in Gardena, both in the Los Angeles area.
The family is asking that any donations be sent to the Philadelphia-based Rhythm & Blues Foundation.

Military Personnel:
Preliminary Observations Related to Income, Benefits, and Employer Support for Reservists During Mobilizations
GAO-03-549T, Mar 19, 2003
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-5559
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Since the end of the Cold War, there has been a shift in the way reserve forces have been used. Previously, reservists were viewed primarily as an expansion force that would supplement active forces during a major war. Today, reservists not only supplement but also replace active forces in military operations worldwide. Citing the increased use of the reserves to support military operations, House Report 107-436 accompanying the Fiscal Year 2003 National Defense Authorization Act directed GAO to review compensation and benefits for reservists. In response, GAO is reviewing (1) income protection for reservists called to active duty, (2) family support programs, and (3) health care access. For this testimony, GAO was asked to discuss its preliminary observations. GAO also was asked to discuss the results of its recently completed review concerning employer support for reservists.
The preliminary results of our review indicate that reservists experience widely varying degrees of income loss or gain when they are called up for a contingency operation. While income loss data for current operations Noble Eagle and Enduring Freedom were not available, data for past military operations show that 41 percent of drilling unit members reported income loss, while 30 percent reported no change and 29 percent reported an increase in income. This information is based on self-reported survey data for mobilizations or deployments of varying lengths of time. As would be expected, the data indicate that certain groups, such as medical professionals in private practice, tend to report much greater income loss than the average estimated for all reservists. Although reservists called up to support a contingency operation are generally eligible for the same family support and health care benefits as active component personnel, reservists and their families face challenges in understanding and accessing their benefits. Among the challenges, reservists typically live farther from military installations than their active duty counterparts, are not part of the day-to-day military culture, and may change benefit eligibility status many times throughout their career. Some of these challenges are unique to reservists; others are also experienced by active component members but may be magnified for reservists. Outreach to reservists and their families is likely to remain a continuing challenge for DOD in the areas of family support and health care, and we expect to look at DOD's outreach efforts in more detail as we continue our study. Outreach is also a critical component of maintaining and enhancing employers' support for reservists. Although DOD has numerous outreach efforts, we found that a sizeable number of reservists and employers were unsure about their rights and responsibilities. For example, a 1999 DOD survey found that 31 percent of employers were not aware of laws protecting reservists. Several factors have hampered DOD's outreach efforts to both employers and reservists. However, DOD is taking positive actions in this area, such as moving ahead with plans to collect employer data from all reserve personnel.

Mammoth Grinder
Extinction of Humanity12/13/13
Mammoth Grinder unleashes seven tracks of charging death metal with their 2009 effort Extinction of Humanity, akin to the classic early eras of Entombed, Dismember, or Autopsy, combined with the bolting hardcore speed of Discharge. Armed with a recording driven by chainsaw guitars, screeching noise, and quaking drums, these Austin, Texas natives carve out a sound equally appealing to fans of metal and hardcore punk alike.

Follow the logic: If we keep thinking it's OK to kill off the weak then, when the weak have been successfully killed off, who will the NEW WEAK be???? Those currently calling themselves "The Strong". So, if the current strong don't want to be the next "weak", they'll join in helping to protect the current "weak." #KeepSTRONG #HelpTheWeakContinue

Though I could blame none of my high school teachers for thinking I wasn't fully alert, fully present, or fully attentive as an easily distractible, highly sensitive, African American teenager at that freshly integrated Southern school, I'd like to point out that I learned lifelong lessons and met many meaningful people at Dreher High School during 1966-1969... For now, I'll leave the meaningful people out but, these 5 are among the lifelong lessons still satisfying my soul in 2013:It was at Dreher that I was first introduced to "The Elements of Style" by William Strunk, Jr. (...freeing me to write as I wish...)It was at Dreher that I was first introduced to "Self Reliance" by Ralph Waldo Emerson (...freeing me to think and to be able to more safely resolve life's challenges from within my own mind...)It was at Dreher that I was first introduced to classical saxophone literature and the utterly unforgettable saxophonist, Sigurd Rascher, the incredible guitarist Jimi Hendrix, and the…Continue

Where I stand on *my* usage of the term "branding" is here: branding is a means of standing out among SIMILAR things.If you don't need to stand out among things similar to you, don't brand.If you DO need to stand out among things similar to you, BRAND...I don't see "branding" as a negative means by any means ... You use branding with each and every sentence you write and with each and every word you speak. (Just check out some of the short expressions which have recently gotten famous people in BIG trouble for just saying one or two things the wrong way. They branded themselves and their careers by what they said. (They got themselves in "hot" water...))Bad interpretations can make any word "bad" in the minds of those who want it to mean something bad.Those who seek to overly-restrict the term "branding" to its former definition are, again, invited to tell us how they handle the word "water" now that we've been introduced to the abusive concept of "water-boarding" and the dangers of…Continue

My Father (10.15)My father died so long ago that, in some respects, my relationship with him seems almost "fictional".And, true, because my father died on the 3rd anniversary of President John F. Kennedy's assassination on 11.22.1966, his death, too, could seem almost as a piece of "history" ... capable of being fictionalized by those who adored him.But, years ago, I reasoned that the parent|child relationship is not limited to just a few decades but, rather, is an eternal matter.Indeed, though it was 47 years ago, the pain of hearing about his death on that odd, odd, odd, odd morning as I was getting dressed to leave to go to my high school class is as freshly alive in me as if it'd just happened a few weeks ago.As odd as it may be for you to process intellectually, though the information that morning was disorienting, angering, and painful, the pain the teenaged Vincent experienced on that super-odd morning, is HELPFUL to the middle aged Vincent in REMEMBERING and STILL APPRECIATING…Continue

This roof is one of the last super features to be set up at Rumney, and its beautifully aesthetic geology can be clearly seen from Buffalo Road and even from Route 25 for those who know well the mountain. Originally done as a ground up aid climb by hang-dogging on gear and cleaning the debris, it is now ready to be climbed by traveling Rumney sportsters. With positive gear placements most of the way through, it still has the potential for a clean traditional ascent with one short section of pg-13 climbing. There two main intimidation factors to this climb. The first is a large cammed block with a gnarly shark's fin protruding its top ("Pinky Toe of Fate??") the use of which is absolutely necessary to make your way into the roof. The first ascent made very delicate use of this block, and after passing it, attempted to break it or dislodge it via foot with no success. Subsequent ascents have hauled on the block to reach up into the ceiling, and its camming structure as well rock strength at the fin seem very strong. With the large juggy nature of the fin, it presents itself as merely psychological rather than physical intimidation. The second intimidation factor is the crux traverse around to the face. Fixing a draw on bolt number six is helpful, because you can clip before making the move around the corner onto the face with no risk besides a clean air drop. Though the access is a little out there by Rumney standards, don't let this deter you from this hidden gem!
In Ward's Guidebook, the topo for "Lean Mean" is incorrectly drawn through this feature. There are four options of approach, the easiest being to repel in from the Crow's Nest. Secondly, one could climb Back Crack, and climb through a short black face with double bolts which leads directly to the base. Thirdly, is to climb Cold Feet and traverse left for about 70 feet which again leads to the short black face over which is the base of the climb.
7 bolts to LO. There is a double bolt belay at the base of the climb as well as a double bolt lower off at the top (which sends you into the gully where there is another repel/belay station).
Really a very good route! I will be selling it to anyone who will listen!
Indeed a beautiful feature guys! How hard do you think this will go when it goes all free?
Cool hope one of you guys can do the FFA, let me know when you guys do so that I can then give it a go. The feature looks awesome, it begs to be climbed!
I got rid of the comment about the extra cam, it is not necessary. We realized that bolts are set up fine with no real need for the extra placement as used before. However it is beneficial to hang a draw off of bolt number six so you can make the clip before going around the corner to the face if you want to reduce the pg-13 factor.
relized today that the current guide book has this as route 1a on the Topo, mixed up with the location of Mean Lean which is actually on the Left side of the Jolt/Dolt corner. This route is to the right of that corner, again it is in the current guide book topo as 1a
There is some discussion about the guidebook error here. www.mountainproject.com/v/killers-crack/106147648
I'm really upset to see Bradley removing his contributions to the site. I can understand the frustration but it's unfortunate that he decided to strip the rich history (e.g., Comments on Iron Man) that some of us have truly appreciated. The comments he's added to this route were also very worth while: "The belay bolts for Wünderkind are not rappel bolts and they are there to stay on the rock (we did some injury to the little trees on our first ascent). The bolts are not there for rappelling. Excellent for belaying." Further mentioning approach and descent comments to help preserve the area. :( :\ I hope he reads this. For anyone who's interested (include Bradley), I have the entire Rumney site (and all comments) backed up. Feel free to contact me via e-mail on this site.
I second you opinion Jeffrey, the history he has provided has been very interesting, and it would be sad to lose all the valuable info!.
It is a shame, but I don't think other MP users should be held hostage to his tantrums if anybody critiques his actions or even asks for an explanation. Despite his belief that anything goes at Rumney, that is not most people's attitude towards the area, nor should it be, and people's critiques are needed to help us all manage the area in some sort of democratic way along with the official managers.
Mark is continuing his rhetoric commenting. Eventually these comments are going to come back to him owning up to them in the end. Again non applicable comments about Wunderkind as a climb and a great deal of presumption opinion of my motives and character composition. Mark, who are the official managers of Rattlesnake Mt. climbing? The R.C.A.? The National Forest Service?
"... who are the official managers of Rattlesnake Mt. climbing? The R.C.A.? The National Forest Service?" -Both. The RCA has an official arrangement to work with the FS. Bob Bruemmer could explain it better than I, I'm sure, if you want to contact him.
RIght now, there are hanging draws and a fixed static line that you can rap in from the Crow's Nest if anyone wants to try and flash it. I watched James Swart onsight it the other day before I took my official redpoint. Very fun, but definitely quite the approach. Warm up on some stuff at the Crow's Nest before heading down since most people don't get up there that often.
"Hi Matt (5.11C) the 'pinkie toe of fate' or the shark finned block is a real humdinger, literally hand traversing it, audible vibration. The sound emanates on the rock and that was a first! I didn't free the ceiling moves. I seconded it and the draws came off with difficultly. I hung a lot on a fifi hook to a bolt. Passed the ceiling is the awesome exposed 5.9 finish. Now draws are on it. So, its pink point. My imagined route goes ground up by: Starting at Moxie to Höhe Hinterland to Wunderkind. Moxie has not been freed yet and anyone can go for it. Doing these connected climbs has not been done yet. It's all there for the interested. The belay bolts for Wünderkind are not rappel bolts and they are there to stay on the rock (we did some injury to the little trees on our first ascent). The bolts are not there for rappelling. Excellent for belaying. We had two 145ft nines for ropes on first ascent. Nowadays being climbed by rappelling down to it from below the left side ending of the Crow's Nest trail. There is a rock gully to go down and below left big trees near the cliff. This descent approach goes dangerously close to the cliff. That's how climbers are going for it and it has become trail. Not my preference nor advice and we went up and down the slope the earliest. So we are, what? I understand going, ground up, is a time consumer and its a work out. Not having to deal with this climbing of the whole ledge is the logic to rappelling down to Wunderkind. Traffic will increase and Houston we are going to have a problem. An accident on this trail will be a long fall. There is a beige 60 meter static rope anchored to a tree that reaches to the ground. I don't know how long the rope will be there. There are anchors for rappel to the base of the black wall trees. Only one draw on the rappel bolts or they are not rappel equipped. From the trees at the black wall rappel Back Crack (until some best, other way is found). Walking off to the Crow's Nest has the option of climbing something. Again that brings up the issue of the resulted trail." Comment by bradley white on May 31st, 2012 11:06 am
I think Brad's comments on routes are useful history, too. It seems like he's also here to set the record straight on some elements of history, which I also support and applaud. But the public arguing is embarrassing: maybe it ought to be limited to the forums, where people expect that kind of thing. In any case: thanks very much, Jeff, for restoring Brad's historical narratives.
Getting back to the route, we've all freed it now, so it's open for projecting. Its well worth it if you don't mind the trip up there. Perhaps a good one to hit up on the way down from a session at Crow's Nest. I believe there is still a fixed static line below Crow's Nest which drops you right in.

Any good tips for removing light pick marks from nitro cellulose finish?
Any good tips for removing light pick marks from nitro cellulose finish?
Last edited by Paul Haley; Oct-29-2009 at 12:15pm.
Paul Haley
Depending upon how deep they are, they may be polished out, or could be professionally buffed. In any case, they may not be able to be removed. It all depends upon how deep they are and how thick the lacquer is. Just be careful with what ever you use because it will be an abrasive in some manner and that will remove finish. The last thing you want to do is remove too much finish in the process.
Have a Great Day!
Joe Vest
Any polish recommendations? The marks are very light.
Paul Haley
Even if you remove these, more shall appear in the future. If they are light enough to be just buffed out I'd probably just leave them alone. They're part of the aging process.
Dale Ludewig
My favorite polishes for hand rubbing are MaGuires #7 (also sold as "Step 2" of a three step set) and Novus II polish.
John Hamlett
I agree with John. That is a good polish.
Have a Great Day!
Joe Vest
I have a lot of experience with paint on my street rods and what John and Joe said is true. Although I've never used Novus, Zaino Brothers makes great product. The Meguiars are wonderful folks and they make great products also but you should excercise caution or like Joe said, risk burning through the finish. Also, if you decide to tackle the job, you'll want to do the entire surface area, otherwise it will look spotty.
Is this what you mean John?
Paul Haley
I don't think you have to get that rad!
Paul, I don't think that's it, but MaGuires packages their stuff under so many labels it's hard to tell what product you have a lot of the time.
There is a set of products sold for car finishes, Step 1, Step 2 and Step 3. A Maguires tec told me on the phone that the Step 2 is the same product as #7 polish, and that it is a pure polish; no wax, no silicone, no left-over residue, just polish.
It is a very fine abrasive, it will bring up a mirror gloss on a good quality surface, and it is so fine and slow working that it would take a very long time to rub through an instrument finish of any normal thickness using it by hand.
John Hamlett
MaGuires #7 looks like this. Novus II is also excellant but a little harder to find. These are mild and unless you use them every day you shouldn't have to worry about damaging the finish.
Gail Hester
The Meguiars Three step system goes by the name "Deep Crystal System", I've just been using it to finish off a repair to the lacquer on a guitar headstock. It is available in the UK, I bought the bottle from my local Auto Parts supplier. I have had more difficulty in getting the No7 equivalent, I used to buy it from a supplier of aircraft parts but the price was a bit steep. They sold it for polishing scratches out of acrylic windshields.
Aren't light pick marks just going to show up again when you play the instrument? And then you have to polish it again. And then they show up again . . .
I'd leave it be if they were where pick marks belong.
That pick marks will just show up again assumes that the OP put the marks there and will again.
It could be that he got the mando used with pre-installed pick scratches, it could be that he is going to install a pickguard after removing the scratches, it could be that he loaned the mando to a friend with a rather... free pick hand, it could be that he has improved his technique and no longer scratches the top even if he was the one who put the scratches there etc..
The advise on polishes is offered without assumptions, and with the hope that it will not lead to trouble.
John Hamlett
You are absolutely correct in your assumption that the pick marks aren't mine. This is a brand new instrument which has received a little scratching in the shop. I have instruments which I have had for many years which have no pick marks on them at all. This is largely as a consequence of the styles of music I play. I have just traded in a fourteen year old mando which the shop is describing as in "as new" condition. I may be an obessive compulsive but I'm a happy one!! Thanks for the advice.
Paul Haley
The Maguires Scratch X 2.0 works very well, and you can get it at about any auto parts store, and wal-marts.
Thanks for the advice John. I got some #2 polish, tried it and it worked a treat!

Would this also help haze from one's arm? a damp cloth just does not do it.
Nitro cellulose??? Why is anyone now using such a finish product. This was the base for the "talkie films" and is very fragile, very often exacerbating heat crackle appearance over years of aging.
Ed, it has been the most common fretted string instrument finish for decades.
