Members chancey77 Posted January 26, 2012 Members Report Posted January 26, 2012 (edited) So I just got off the phone with some folks in England and since I live in Finland with the shipping restrictions I cannot receive Antique paste or Wyosheen....they wanted an extra 60€ for hazardous shipping.... So just like everything else here I have to figure something out... Has anyone tried to make their own Antique paste with a good result. It can't be that hard, I am sure someone out there has tried. PLEASE HELP! Tandy said they could ship the Eco Flow Professional series but they have not had any feedback about it. Almost all of the things I make are heavily used and in my experience eco flow has never cut the mustard even with a good sealer. I am at a loss. I am abut to embark on a huge project of making some door panels for a 1951 Ford pick up truck and with all the 100's of hours that are going to be going into these huge 2 door panels I really don't want to get all the way to the last step and ruin them! The client really wants them antiqued tan and right now I am at a loss. Money isn't the issue just plain resources! Something I have taken for granted; growing up down the road from Tandy now that I live here in Finland, is almost impossible to do some what I have always considered a simple task.... Any ideas????????? PLEASE HELP ME COME UP WITH A GOOD SOLUTION...that doesn't involve me getting on a plane:) Does it seem like my only option is water based eco flow?????? I HOPE NOT! If I am wrong and it is a great product PLEASE CORRECT ME! I need to know from some real experienced people here no novices. Recipes welcome! THANKS A MILLION!

Any ideas????????? Hi chancey, Please don't cry, Finland not such a heck of the woods like it might appear at first glance Do have a look for instance at this lot and if 14 bucks is not an issue (and actually as I 've got from your post it is not), you'll get that in 14 days delivered to your door. Bruce has some other antiques/colors and quite a thrustworth guy to buy from. Hope it helps. Cheers! Edited January 26, 2012 by Suicide Quote My leatherwork gallery
Members chancey77 Posted January 26, 2012 Author Members Report Posted January 26, 2012 Definitely not crying just fed up from time to time:) Who is Bruce??? And yes I would love to get enough to cover 37" x 37" times 2 I have to use it on door panels for a 51 ford pick up after I do all the carving...I have not used it in a while, and I am thinking I will need a 32oz jar...Money is not a problem! THANKS! Quote

Bruce is the owner of Stecksstore shop ( the link for his ebay lot I put in my previous message). Everything I bought from him I got here in Finland with no any problems. You can send him a message through ebay and discuss everything you need. I think he has enough Fiebings antique to cover much larger area than you mentioned BTW just interesting about the project you 've mentioned: are these going to be outside door panels?

THANKS! You can also get it from his .com shop. http://www.stecksstore.com/servlet/the-2662/Light%2C-Brown%2C-Fiebing%27s%2C-Fiebings%2C/Detail Might be better to talk to him through there too. I've bought from stecks a few times too. Good people and fast ship. Of course I don't live half way round the world from him... but still he gets things out fast.

Members chancey77 Posted January 27, 2012 Author Members Report Posted January 27, 2012 Sent to me from SYLVIA. Be careful what you ask for you might get it. I found this recipe in an OLD OLD book, called Dr. Chase's Recipes. Water Proof paste. 1 lb Tallow (rendered beef fat) 1/2 lb Bees Wax 1/2 pint Neatsfoot oil 1/2 lb of Rosin (pine tree pitch) lampblack for color. But I would use artists oil paint to color it brown/tan. Mix until well combined over heat. Pour into a good container and allow to solidify I AM CERTAINLY GOING TO TRY THIS! 1/8 AT FIRST:) I WILL POST PICS THIS WEEK AND A FULL CRITIQUE:) This seems like a great Pitch Blend concoction.
