[QUOTE="LoneTraveler, post: 2970798, member: 77249"] I tried several things years ago when I started building muzzle loading rifles. I found that any black that had oil or grease in it caused problems. It will soak into the wood and not cut out in the chips. I settled on candle soot, Had a candle and holder sitting on my bench lit when inletting. Candle soot does not soak into the wood, Paper thin shavings removes the soot completely, Allowing cutting very tight tolerance on parts and inlays. Cheap to, Burned down candles from dinner table kept me supplied. [/QUOTE]
