[LargeFormat] Blackening your camera guts....

[Frank Filippone]

The method I described is very messy.  Dye does not come off..... ie, do NOT try this in the Living Room on the nice fancy rugs or
over the dining room table.....  It is an outdoor project, away from the house... I used the grass as a backstop.  It got on my
hands, and stayed there.  Good thing skin rubs off, and underneath areas are OK.

The alcohol mix was about 4 oz of alcohol to about a half teaspoon of Aniline Dye.  Applied by ( cheapo) paint brush.  You could use
less.  The Dye comes from places like Woodcraft ( www.woodcraft.com ).

It was used on the WOODEN parts of the camera.  Not the metallic parts.  For metal, I recommend the sharpie type markers.
