It came in small flat sheets. Use a soldering iron, or anything that will heat a small piece of it, and it will flow into the cracks of the vulcanite. My friends at Leica told me that they use Kodak Brushing Lacquer #4 to paint the results black. I imagine that any shoe polish would do the trick as well, if you can't get the Kodak item. Bowtie
