| I have to try the olive oil. It sounds like a great idea. Though Liquid Gold is not at all recommended for "waxing" finished surfaces, I have found that it is superb at getting out white water marks as well. One day when I was about 12, a friend of my brother's came over to go swimming. He later decided to play our organ (49 tube Lowery) with his swimming trunks still on. WOW! Big white spot! I freaked out because I thought my mother was going to die. I put Liquid Gold on it, though, and it was saved. Later I wiped off the excess and waxed the bench. It still looks pretty good to-day. Liquid Gold, however, should usually be reserved for those oiled wood pieces of the 1960s and 1970s which have not been varnished (such as superb Pioneer stereos). I think that it may actually lift varnish off of wood if it is used in excess. It is like when people soak their wood with Pledge. Thomas |
