[Cob] polyurethane

[Bill&Julie]

~¿~   Hidare,,,, The recipe that I use for Bees Wax finish is:
First you get high quality Bees wax. I use a Bees Wax toilet ring. That is
what fits between the bottom of the toilet and the soil pipe.
Then you dissolve it in Turpentine. Start with one quarter of the ring.
Depending on how big of a project you have.
You will have to kneed the Bees Wax to dissolve it in the Turpentine.
You should have a thin to a thick cake batter consistency at this point.
Now you add the Boiled Linseed Oil, if you have a pint of Bees Wax and
Turnpentine mixed, And one half pint of Boiled Linseed Oil.
Store in a wide mouthed metal can with a tight lid.
I keep the application rag in the can with the mixture.

Proportions in this mixture can be adjusted to achieve the color and type of
finish that you are working for.

I used the mix on a well stripped quarter sawed oak table. With no stain
added, the table turned a honey color right away,, and within 6 months
darked to a grocery store paper sack brown....

Now for the elbow greese,,,  If the finish seems tacky ,,Keep rubbing with a
lint free rag... This is not for the faint of heart,, or terminally lazy...
But when finished this way,,, it will be the way it was done 150 years ago.

As far as toxicity goes,,, I would not want to drink the stuff,,, And I
would not put it on eating utensils...
But I think,, you would have a hard time finding a safer product... ( this
is a non qualified statement )

The Term Toungue Oil,,, is for a product used for Wagon Toungues,,,  It was
use to protect the wood from the corrosives that would collect on the
toungue due to the close proximity to the rear of the draft animal...
phewwy.
