Rejuvenating elderly Seapak (and interior cardboard) with Minwax Ebony Stain
First reported by Patrick Malone for use on faded pickup truck interior cardboard, John Tesch reports its benefits for renewing Seapak:............"it works great, the same as it did on the firewall board (sic) chicken foot insulation beneath the dash. I found my Minwax stain right next to my collection of used tooth brushes and I figured that was fate so that is the brush I used and with positive results . The tooth brush works well because it doesn't hold much liquid, you can tap it on the can to reduce the amount of liquid held by the brush and it seemed to cover well with small circular motions. Have to be careful as Seapak will absorb as much stain as you deliver, therefore, be frugal in its application. I tried a small cloth but it held too much stain and the Seapak absorbed it immediately before covering much area. Simply let it air dry for a couple days and its dry with no odor."
 
Original is still in our 36’ 3W project.
Can get you pictures tomorrow.

We are not doing a complete FordBarn politically correct restoration.
Last week we received a new FireWall Pad from “Quiet Ride Solutions”.
Black ABS plastic, Chicken Foot pattern.
Jut insulation on the back.
Info is in my shop desk if you wish ?

I have heard of using lacquer thinner on a rag to dull the finish. Have not tried it myself so I don't know the outcome. Try it on a small area first that would be hidden by the dashboard.
 
I bought all the interior panels from Quiet Ride Solutions and would also be interested in what would dull the ABS plastic down.
