I'm guessing that back then, the graphics were silk screened right onto the table? This brings up some questions though...#1 Can I go ahead and strip the field, clean the table good, and then wax as normal, with the intention of dealing with the artwork later?#2 I have a friend who is one of those guys that loves painting miniature Warhammer figures and the like. I have no doubt he could probably hand paint the worn areas if I gave him good reference material. Would this even be an option, or would that ruin the thing?#3 If there is a nick in the wood, should I fill it? If so, with what? I know what to use around the house, but not on a table!The more I look around the web, the more I hear different do's and don'ts, and often they conflict. Everybody says use Novus 2, and then I read something from Tim Arnold and he's saying never use the stuff. I see whole threads on repainting the cabinet, and then I see others where collectors would rather have scratches and dings with the original paint than a new reproduction. I should really think about what I want to get out of this experience I guess!I should ask this...my backglass is not bad, but there's flaking and the black pin striping around the score boxes is often only half there. Everywhere I read, it says use Krylon Triple Thick to seal it. Should I just go ahead and do that, not worrying about the backglass? Seems nobody tries to paint these since it's a mirrored art. Just wanna be sure.</blockquote>
