An olde time wood finish that I have come to like was introduced to me by a gentleman who not only builds flinters, he also restores 1903 Springfield suppository guns. Anyway, after whatever stain he is going to use, he finished with a mixture of one part boiled linseed oil, one part beeswax and one part turpentine. These are equal parts by volume, not weight. Melt these three ingredients together over a non-flaming heat source and mix well. They will cool into a paste. Rub into the wood well and let if sit for a few days. When the turpentine evaporates off and the oil dries, buff with a cloth. Weather-proofs well and looks great!

Anybody ever used Old English Scratch Cover to touch up a "ding" in a stock after a hunting trip. I don't have any guns with really nice wood -YET. But is works nicely on the run-of-the-mill production stuff.

I use the stuff to stain my ramrods.

Now you know one of the faker's tricks. You can do the same by putting a dab of powder in a saucer then light it and add a touch of water to what's left and dab a small cloth or your finger in it and rub the brass. :thumbsup:

KIWI Shoe Polish (Paste) MSDS

A caution: It appears shoe polish contains several solvents (Stoddard solvent (volitile kerosene), Naphtha, benzene & two others too big to spell).

I found it interesting that the word "wax" is not among the ingredients? It appears to be all solvent. ::

Toungue Oil?
The thought of licking shoes doesn't sit to well with me! YUCK!
