Pineknot-- Minwax Antique Oil sounds like good medicine. I have used Minwax products 'red mahogony' blended with mineral spirits and linseed oil with good success... So after your last post I called the local paint and stain company and they did not have the antique oil, nor did Home Depot / Lowes. So, where do you get Minwax Antique Oil..

And regarding the vinegar... yes it is acidic but what does THAT do in the formulations? Why is more acid needed? Does it help catalyze or retard the polymers?

Great info! Thanks!
