This is interesting I have a formula that I cant give out (secret) but this is along the lines of the one I have. Mine will dissolve the finish smooth out the scratches and clean all at the same time. Thanks for posting this and I added it to the VSMS forum.

1 part white vinegar 1 part boiled linseed oil (Don't use raw) 1 part turpentine (from your paint or hardware store) Combine all 3 ingredients in a jar with a tight lid and shake like crazy. Then rub it into the furniture with a piece of 0000-grade steel wool. Wipe off with soft cloth. Years of grime melt away, leaving you with a smooth, beautiful surface. |

I found one that I had printed out in 2005, from one of the DIY internet sites. It was about stripping pieces of antiques. -------------------------------------------------------------- Quote==Don't you dare strip that table, no matter how grimy and gunked-up it may look. collectors prize antiques with the original finish!!

I don't remember using this, I think it was about the time my husband had another stroke so I stuck all my papers in a file drawer and forgot them till now. |
