I am at the final stages of the front door panel I am making. Having left the whiting powder on for 5 hours, I went around all the edges with a pointed dowel to neated the cement. i then left it over night to cure. Then I cleared the whiting off and gave it a good polish with the polishing brush. This makes the lead go a nice dark grey and cleans the glass. I touched up all the solder joints with some black patina as they can return to silver if polished otherwise. Just need to go around all the lead with some black polish and it will be ready to be installed.
