Thank you for commenting on my ink article. In your comment you stated: "Many poskim disagree... Many rishonim have clearly stated the use of our ingredients." Would you please be kind enough to teach us (so I can include it in the article) which Poskim and what exactly and where did they say that the עפצים וקנקנתום type of ink is preferable over good quality דיו עשן that does not fail? We are not interested in biased פילפולים , or in those who said that דיו עשן is not being used because it fails easily or because it was not known how to make good quality דיו עשן.

I repaired the painting of my retzuot and batim with Dio Lanetzach for Rapidograph.
ReplyDeleteImportant: before painting, rub the area you plan to paint with sand paper to remove most of the old paint. Dio Lanetzach adheres well to sand-papered leather. It may not adhere as well to old paint.
