Members SUP Posted February 2 Author Members Report Posted February 2 The tips are perfect actually. I can use them even now. But I want to take care of them first. So BLO and putty it is. Thank you for guiding me on what to do. Quote Learning is a life-long journey.
Members Beehive Posted February 2 Members Report Posted February 2 You're Welcome. I've been using blo for as long as I can remember. In between rub downs, polish it with a brown paper bag or the brown paper that comes in boxes. My stitching pony has been treated. Strap cutter also. I can't do unfinished wood. Quote
Members dikman Posted February 2 Members Report Posted February 2 If you're not familiar with BLO be careful disposing of any rags soaked in the stuff, they can self combust! Do a search on the 'net.

Members SUP Posted February 3 Author Members Report Posted February 3 @dikman yes I have heard of that. So not bought it any time, even when recommended. But this time, I think I will. And take care to not give the rags a chance to combust. I will probably use just one rag and dry it out thoroughly, spread out, as suggested. Quote Learning is a life-long journey.
