Tried & True Varnish Oil

Gee that's too bad Barry. It's the worst stuff on the planet and not recommended for woodturnings at all. You really should have asked BEFORE you bought the stuff...........Oh well........

Just kidding.......great stuff........ ;^)

I've used it on flat work. (I haven't gotten a bowl to a state that I'd consider putting finish on it yet.)

Great stuff. No heavy metal driers, so easier on the human body. BELIEVE the part about THIN coats. Warming the oil makes it easier to use. And friction, when used on the lathe, should help.

Well, I did read the label. Is it really that bad? Why?

Anyway, I only bought a pint can. I guess I will try it on a small piece and decide for myself. Thanks.

Barry, Did you scroll to the bottom of Mike's post? Martin

Uhhhhhhhh...........no, I didn't. I keep forgetting about the jokers in here. Apparently, I take life much too seriously. I'll try the stuff on my next turning. Thanks
