Hi all:
I am looking for some suggestions for some reliable and consistent oil or oil and wax finishes for steel.
We have been using Sculpt Nouveau metal oil which has wax in it as well as a hardener. On smaller surfaces it worked fine, but we did a large fireplace feature with smooth metal and we found that the wax kind of separates and then leaves streaks in the oil.
First, has anyone used Sculpt Nouveau's metal oil and do you have any pointers on the streaking thing?
Second, I have been reading about linseed oil mixed with wax and turpentine. How does that work on smooth flat surfaces?
What oil can you substitute that is food safe?
Any tips or other suggestions on a good consistent seal for steel would be very much appreciated...
Thanks!
