    Default http://www.globak.com.au/ not there

    I see that this site is not reachable, so where do we get Minwax Antique Oil from these days. I have tried various place nearby me who claim to carry the item but nobody has it in stock. I am ok for the moment but looking forward it's not good

    You could try Fishpond.com.au. I haven't used them yet as I've still got plenty. Bought the last one just before Master's demise at a giveaway price.

    Fishpond - $40 for the small can when Masters sold the large one for $24 as normal pricing? Ouch....
    Yet I can't find another supplier.

    You Aussies sure take a beating on US made stuff. I wonder if it is tax, shipping, or both. As the Minwax is flammable I expect going by air is prohibited.

    Digging around on the internet I find one citation that Antique Oil Finish is made of Tung Oil, a dryer, and mineral spirits, another says Linseed Oil, dryer, and mineral spirits. I use straight Tung Oil diluted with mineral spirits, applied with a rag on the bowl on the lathe, let dry while spinning a few minutes, apply again and rub hard with a rag, let dry overnight and repeat.

    I think with the addition of a bit of dryer I would have an equivalent of the Antique Oil Finish.

    See how you go with that.

    Edit - I see you were after something a bit different.
