--Previous Message-- : Lemon oil is actually a misnomer. It is mineral : oil with a lemon scent. It does moisturize : by going into the wood through cracks in : the finish. If you ever wanted to refinish : a piece that had lemon oil in it, you : would have a problem with bonding of the : new finish. Since lemon oil doesn't dry, : it is not buffable. : If you wanted to add stain, do that before : applying Wood Elixir. If adding color : after, use solvent based wood dyes. After : Wood Elixir has cured for a couple of : days, you can add any type of finish you : choose. : The chair leg has water damage and requires : bleaching to remove dark. : Restor-a-Finish by Howard Products is a : finish brightener and colorant. It is : formulated totally differently from Wood : Elixir and therefore, offers no long-term : protection. : (See Comparison Photo Link.) : On unfinished wood, Wood Elixir seals and : produces a finish similar to French : Polish which is built up in several : teatments. : Your chest, if made in 1900 is shellac finish : and if made in 1920 could also be lacquer. : Both are restorable with Wood Elixir. : Test first for color. Wood Elixir will : only bring out he original color of the : wood. Lacquer finishes often had tints : added to the final finish which saved : production time. : Sorry, Wood Elixir is not in stores in the : U.S. yet only in Canada. : :
