Re: Preserving tank decals

[Randy in Tampa]

quote Chris_P:

I would think keeping them out of the elements, and perhaps a coat of wax? Im not certain for that time period motor. I would be worried certain clear coats could make things worse? Again, not sure.

My mint original 50s OMCS, I keep in my house, cleaned with WD40 (not cowl) and a light coat of wax on the cowl.

yes I wax my nice 50s motors but this is a totally different animal, these are mid 20s to late 30s decals that are very fragile in some cases and I would like to preserve as perfectly as possible for as long as possible, that being said I believe these are museum quality pieces and are very well preserved and original to this point…. 😎
