Default Tried & True Varnish Oil

Has anyone use this stuff on bowls? I bought a can a couple of weeks ago,

Gee that's too bad Barry. It's the worst stuff on the planet and not
recommended for woodturnings at all. You really should have asked BEFORE
you bought the stuff...........Oh well........





Just kidding.......great stuff........ ;^)

I've used it on flat work. (I haven't gotten a bowl to a state that I'd
consider putting finish on it yet.)

Great stuff. No heavy metal driers, so easier on the human body. BELIEVE
the part about THIN coats. Warming the oil makes it easier to use. And
friction, when used on the lathe, should help.

Well, I did read the label. Is it really that bad? Why?

Anyway, I only bought a pint can. I guess I will try it on a small piece
and decide for myself. Thanks.

Uhhhhhhhh...........no, I didn't. I keep forgetting about the jokers in
here. Apparently, I take life much too seriously. I'll try the stuff on my
next turning. Thanks
