Homemade finish
First I apologize cause I'm sure this was on here not long ago. I searched
the archives and couldn't find it. Someone was talking about making their own finish with a combination of 3 things. ????Boiled linseed oil????Denatured Alcohol????XXXXXX????? I'm not sure any of the above are correct. I'd appreciate a point in the correct direction.TIA |

Shellac is the third. Equal parts of each.

There are many homemade finishes. One I use is equal parts of laquer, laqurer
thinner and boiled lindseed oil.

Shellac is the third. Equal parts of each. Wasn't there another recipe that is also three equal parts, involving beeswax but something other than denatured alcahol? Alex |

I don't know aboujt a 3 part finish but beeswax and mneral oil makes a nice
food safe finish. Melt the beeswax in a double boiler then add mineral oil. A 50/50 mix sets up fairly solid. If you want a softer mix add more oil.

My personal fave: Behlen's Rockhard Tabletop Varnish VMP Naptha Boiled Linseed Oil To start out with it go with roughly equal parts of each then modify the ratios to better work the way you want and your climate. -- "To know the world intimately is the beginning of caring." -- Ann Hayman Zwinger |
