Contributing Member Ferg Posted August 4, 2011 Contributing Member Report Posted August 4, 2011 I have a bottle of the Gum Trag, have never used it. I think a lot of the finishing edges is a matter of preference and what someone began with. I followed Bob Parks method from the start and have never had the occasion to use any of the alternatives. King's X does some mighty fine work. I am sure what ever he does works for him and may also work for you. ferg 50 yrs - That's what I'm currently doing. Step 3 in hidepounder's posted guide is the application of the glycerine soap and Step 4 is burnishing with saddle soap, bees wax or gum trag. I sort of glossed over Step 3 in my post b/c this thread seemed more focused on Step 4. I'm just wondering if saddle soap would work better than the gum trag in Step 4, since King's X suggested it.
