I'd like to buy a pint of Velvit Oil. Suppliers seem to be out of stock; the company doesn't answer their phone. Please let me know if you a source.

It's awesome to know the Liberal Left Democrats who run Kalifornia are concerned about the danger of V.O.C.'s in a can of Watco Danish Oil. And very interesting to see they will bust you and fine you if you smuggle some of "the good shit" in from Nevada or Arizona. Probably just a matter of time before they send in a SWAT Team to take down guys who mix their own stock finish.

These are the same Liberals who are giving free syringes to drug addicts, and turning a blind eye to the Fentanyl being smuggled in the open Southern Border, which is killing over 200 U.S. citizens from overdoses every single day.

Can you imagine how much Liberal Democrats would carry on if there was even one mass shooting that killed 200 people? Yet they say nothing about this???

I think I pointed that out, a page or two ago.

Not recently, either.

No, what's considered varnish today is, basically, thinner, oil, and resin. But, I would expect driers to be added, although you can buy varnish without added driers.

Your results may vary based upon where you purchase the product. In Kalifornia, we can't easily buy any of the old school solvent-based products that actually work, because of air quality regulations. Watco (in its CA compliant formulation) is one of the products that is no longer useful without applying a lot of DIY chemistry to the mix. The compliant products that we can get typically have very long drying times, and some never seem to dry completely. Some things, but not all, can be ordered in very small quantities. Some products can be brought back from Nevada and Arizona, but people have been busted and fined for doing that. And the vendors in NV and AZ are often getting product from distributors in CA, so they get the CA formulation. I have been mixing my own stuff for years with decent success.

True enough, lightweight and a pleasure to walk in, wear out way faster than a cheap pair of socks. The soles on the pair I had were suitable for sidewalks on a dry day, nothing more challenging. It is hard to find good pheasant hunting boots these days.

I have been wearing mine for years light tough really comfortable .I went back to the store in Wisconsin and bought another pair these were not cheep boots retail about 300.00. I use them for everything every type of hunting.

My dad had a pair of Kangaroo boots. They were expensive, and he loved them. We have no mountains here, and he was not the guy who willingly stomped cattails in the snow, but, he had them for years. They were light, more of an early autumn boot. He understood what they were for. He was old enough when he got them that he was doing more blocking than pushing, and he would bring them along when he went goose hunting, just in case the weather went bluebird on him.

They were almost green in color.

Glad he had the chance to have them. Can’t understand why a bureaucrat thinks it is his job to tell a man what he can wear on his feet.

Pretty sure both Brent and I hunt Pheasants the same way, lots of walking, often through CRP fields which wear out Kangaroo leather fast. Great boots for blocking on an early autumn day though, no denying that. No argument from me regarding the stupidity of outlawing Kangaroo leather in CA.
