Rich, What is the mixture of the two ingredients, 50/50? Tom -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Rich Sent: Friday, February 09, 2007 1:58 PM To: Antique Phonograph List Subject: Re: [Phono-L] orthophonic/credenza question
Don't worry, natural turpentine is on some environmental hit list and has become difficult to obtain. Not impossible yet but difficult. I think it is on the VOC hit list. Boiled linseed oil and turpentine is oil based paint without pigment. The oil will catalyze and stay put for a very long time.
