How do I clean and care for the old Whiting and Davis mesh bag enamel?

Precautions must be taken when cleaning your mesh bag so you do not put the chip or paint or enamel to separate the tables outside of the mesh. Wipe gently with a cloth clean and sufficient moisture should remove most dust and dirt. Extra-fine "steel wool can be used to polish the frame with no enamel accents, then wipe with a damp cloth. Wash bag nets in the water is not recommended, however, I personally done in my own way. If you clean your bag nets in the water is too wet, dry with a towel on the outside and then air-dried warm inside until it is "completely dry". You want to make sure that all moisture has disappeared and do not fall within the grid boxes. In mesh bags that are not painted decorations, I used the money or bronze cleaner to remove the shine of the bag. Again, the problem of decoupling can produce pictures that you have to work in small areas and use very little pressure, keeping the boxes so they do not move much, it takes a little practice time and patience. Do not process an urgent job, that cause you problems. Save your mesh bag of direct sun light, heat or humidity. Many collectors have organized shows beautiful decorative wall where dust plumes week would be appropriate. Others argue that behind glass, like a hood. The practice of making vintage bags is a good idea, however, the holes must be provided in the process of preparing for the breakdown. Bags that do not receive the air does not age as gracefully, the dangers of accumulating moisture and growing mold. For storage a drawer, wrapped in clean white tissue paper and put in a bag "open", if desired, to ensure that your pocket can breathe. If you live in an area of high humidity, avoid contact with plastic bags because it might cause sweating would not be in the bag.
