I asked the same question in Wickes a while back and was told. "Modern lead doesn't need it" Because of course, elemental lead is now _totally_ different from how it used to be. Indeed. Total ********. I bough some patination oil (probably from Wickes) 10 years back and the effect was pretty instant and very noticeable... -- Tim Watts This space intentionally left blank... |
