Shoe Bronzing method required

Hi all, my situation is an interest in getting started in bronzing baby shoes. To some of you that might be simple, but I would like to do it as a hobby and since I have 3 children. Is there some good reading material on methods available ? Help appreciated ?

HI,

I HAVE BEEN BRONZING SHOES FOR ABOUT 4 YEARS NOW. IT REQUIRES A LOT OF PATIENCE AND CAN TAKE ABOUT 10 DAYS TO FINISH A PAIR OF SHOES AS YOUR PREPARATION IS VERY IMPORTANT. THE INITIAL SET UP IS QUITE COSTLY, BUT THERE AFTER IT IS EASY TO MAINTAIN.

I currently live and work in Athens, Greece. I sent a pair of baby-shoes to my sister in Nigel, Gauteng hoping she can find somewhere to have it bronzed, but no luck so far, can anybody help me, please?

Can anybody please tell me where to find a 'kit' to start bronzing baby shoes etc?

Dear Mr Roy Hatt

I read your letter and I would like to know how to contact you regarding shoe bronzing. I am a South African living in Greece and there is a market here for baby shoe bronzing, but nowhere to have it done.

Thank you
