I use the bees wax/ linseed oil/ turpentine mix after wire brushing small pieces for indoors. Reheat to low temp( mostly with propane torch) lightly coat and then buff afterwards. Works well for indoor usage but doesn't hold up well outdoors. I myself am experimenting with outdoor finishes. Does anyone have a good outdoor finish that lasts like on railings and such? I have heard of a few types of paints/patinas and clearcoat with automotive clear.

Using various sizes and lengths of PVC or other piping works well also.You can either stack them or align one on top of each other on a 45degree angle along a wall or other out of the way area and slide your pieces into them.

Great idea. Thanks for sharing.

Are these formulas applied to cold metal or warmed/hot ?
