I have used all sorts over the years.

My dad had some stuff called shine seal. It dried up and I binned it because I didn't think k it was any better than solvol autosol.

Having said that if I remember he used to dip the finished blank in to a liquid, can't remember if it was suagar soap.. or caustic soda..

I will have to dig his book out again to see what he used to do.. but that won't be for a while as the shed is going through a bit of a change around and sort out..

[QUOTE="silver, post: 209791, member: 165"] I have used all sorts over the years. My dad had some stuff called shine seal. It dried up and I binned it because I didn't think k it was any better than solvol autosol. Having said that if I remember he used to dip the finished blank in to a liquid, can't remember if it was suagar soap.. :thinks: or caustic soda..:thinks: I will have to dig his book out again to see what he used to do.. but that won't be for a while as the shed is going through a bit of a change around and sort out.. :rolling: [/QUOTE]
