Tagger you made me go back for another look, thanks , as if I wasn't confused enough.

I cut more slices off of each one and it appeared that the best ones were actually the odorless thinner mix, and of those the one that was for only 10 minutes looked the best. And when I picked them up that one definitely felt lighter than the others. But how can that be ?? I just don't get it.


More pics, you decide...

First is val oil turp, second is the 2 val oil/odorless thinner ones...

How long did the straight non cut val-oil take to dry?

i wish you did this test on a wood that is absorbant. correct me if i am wrong, but doesnt AYC resist moisture absorption???? for instance, if you used maple, or pine it would suck up water. Also, you did not dip a piece of AYC that you did not seal as a contol group..


sorry to nitpick-

my biggist complaint with val oil is that its goooooooey
