Somewhere in the back of the grey mush that is my brain:
I seem to recall coating fine details with a ceramic protective paste. Used in gunsmithing to protect sharp pointy bits and for files "all the sharp pointy bits that are the teeth"
The coating protects the sharp ends from oxidative errosion.
This was the way it was before salt baths were invented.
