[QUOTE="KSW, post: 2329344, member: 8708"]Sorry, I haven't got round to doing anything with this yet but I have decided the only way forwards with this is to completely strip it down and remove the old foil. Having done some research it doesn't seem possible to properly refoil stones so your tape idea could be a goer. I have bought some mirror finish spray paint that I was going to experiment with although I suspect even the paint works it may then react with the glue. When I take it apart I may be able to identify the dark red stones more easily but I'm pretty sure they aren't wood as they chink like glass. I will update when I've done it but flat out at work at the moment and I need to be able to concentrate on it!.[/QUOTE]
