Lamp liquid as bow finish??

[4runr]

Ultra pure says it's 99% pure liquid Parrafin. Could this be used instead of melting parrafin for bow finish?

[JBiorn]

Sounds good, but I'm afraid it would never dry.

Try some on a piece of scrap wood Kenny and let us know (1) ease of application (2) dry time, (3)water proofing abilities.Who knows you may be on to something.

[Mark C.]

Kenny, wouldn't the wood still need to be heated so it will absorb better? Would be easy if it works.   :p

I'll give it a shot and see what happens.

[Fritz Brown]

Liquid parafin is not the same as the parafin wax.  Liquid parafin is kerosene.  I doubt it would be a good finish.
