I used Angelus Leather Dye, "Jet Black", which my wife bought from a shoe
repair shop. 2 or 3 coats and the bakelite looks incredible--and it's stayed
that way for a couple of years.
This is a black alchohol-based dye that is far more dense than the black
color in shoe polish, and dries in short order. Comes with an applicator
top--one of those things that's a wad of felt on the end of a piece of wire.
It's made by the Angelus Shoe Polish Company of Culver City CA 90230.
This stuff is in the same league with Kroil as a first-class product.
And no, none of us are making money from my hype!
