[Steelybone]

========[ Invite a Friend - http://www.ganoksin.com/invite.htm  ]========

    I have some beautiful Green Men of carved bone.  They have a very
    high gloss, and the vendor thinks they were finished with something
    like Zam (which I know nothing about).  I would like to try dyeing
    one of them green.  Does anyone have any suggestions for removing
    any waxy or oily or other  component left by the polishing?  And
    someone once mentioned some high-quality water-based dyes - does
    anyone remember the name? 

Thanks.
Tas
