After putting on two coats of the amber shellac to help the repairs match the old parts better, I think the dark will make them match even better.
One place said they have one can of the clear. I'll have to ask my wife who they were, she did all the phone calling.
We have some of the Howard's but it's also clear. And when the places we called didn't have the Briwax we asked about Howard's and they didn't have that either. About all you can find around here is the spray stuff made by Pledge and we don't want that.
We did find that we can order it through Ace and get it delivered directly to the local store. So I suspect that is what we'll have to do.
As for water protection, as long as I own that there will be a permanent moratorium on any water near it. I did a lot of work fixing on that thing. Makes me tired just thinking about it.
