I am a user of True Oil on cork. I am sure that everyone who uses the stuff knows about the short shelf life before polymerization occurs. I went to the local gun shop today to get a couple of fresh bottles and what do I find? The darn stuff has been "bundled" in a large plastic package with bottles of Walnut Stain and something called a Restorer. The new package of three cost $ 17.65. I left in a huff and drove about 15 miles to a Wally World and what did I find - same package for $ 16.50. I was forced to buy the stuff due to need to get a couple of rods out tomorow.

If any of the board sponsors see this post maybe you could add True Oil to your product line and just handle what is needed.

Does anyone know what could be added to Cork Seal to give a little darker look to the cork. I really like Cork Seal but it will not darken enough with only one coat. More coats of Cork Seal do not add to the color. I normally use three coats of True Oil buffed with cheesecloth to give cork the look and feel that my customers like.
