Oil on antlers?????

[Bud]

Has anyone used Watco oil, or linseed oil on their mounts to bring back colour and shine? or just to bring them back to the original look?:confused:

I just use that lemon oil stuff.

Before I send a mount out I rub a mixture of half linseed oil and half paint thinner. I tell my customers to apply it once a year.

I just use boiled Linseed oil, it has lasted 35 years so far!!

Be very careful where you dispose of any rags with linseed oil on them.Please read the label.Can ignite and start a fire.

Per boiled linseed oil. Hard to believe but this happened to me. Lucky they were in a trash can outside ...

X2 on lemon oil Bud. I use it once or twice a year. It stops them from getting dry and brittle and brightens them up a little for a while.

Ya good call Speyman, I have seen it happen to my neighbor while doing a deck. We smelled smoke and the frigin Rag ignited dam good thing we did not go around front for a beer could have burnt down the house. I was shocked naturally we read the warning after no exaggeration there. The teacher in Grade 8 shop was not full of shite after all :)
