What's th3ewhite stuff?
Hello,
I want to post some pictures and, before I do, I'd like to make the markings easier to see by putting the white stuff I often see in the markings to make them more legible. Can someone please tell me what the stuff is and how it's applied?
Thanks,
Mike

Pipe dope, (stick type) it's a soft paste, non abrasive, water repellant and wipes off easily. It does turn a little yellowish with age if you leave it on. I remember our armorers using it.

Sorry, I'll clarify. Pipe Dope is a brand name of a pipe thread sealing paste that comes in a large "crayon" , they would run it across the lettering and wipe a rag across it to clear the excess, very quick and only one pass was needed, perfect every time. After time it would get a slight yellowish color that actually looked very good.

I may switch to pipe dope for my "factory white letters". I do like the slightly yellowed look.
