Pukka Bundook Posted February 16 Report Share Posted February 16 This thread a very nice read for someone new here. Some grand photos! I have just used good quality linseed cut with pure turpentine. It's very forgiving and easy to cover any new scratches, etc. Thanks to all and all the best, Richard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
