Wow. I read your mind and already got some. It works pretty well. I'm reapplying in some crevices, but the cabinet bare Bakelite has a nice gloss to it underneath. I think I might leave it if the Bakelite brown was an option. I have a small, but tightly joined crack in the top, but I read a technique with superglue and packing tape that I might try. If it looks good, maybe I'm almost ready for reassembly.

Any ideas about what to do with the dial scale?
