Re: refinishing a printing frame: what to use?

[Ken Sinclair <photo1@telusplanet.net>]

Phillip,

May I recommend Tung oil...  (make sure you get the non-polymerised... that
is, the type you can get for using on wood bowls that you might use for
food)

I have just re-finished my B&J 8x10 woodie using it.
