Not every one is as stupid as a CNN reporter.Just don't drink or inject it.
I saw similar on a guy who made southren style rifles back in the 80s. His guns were made to look a hundred years old.
I saw his work thinking they were antiques. He wasn’t trying to fool anyone and had a sticky note on the check plate with the date of manufacture.
I just asked at the time how he got such a neat old looking finish. He just smiled and said secret recipe handed down at the dark of the moon by three croons with a cauldron.
His stocks looked worn and some had repairs.
