Re: [RC] help with archives - Ed & Wendy HauserIn the limited amount of time I have had to look, I have still not found a formula for "fat-liquor" (the part of tanning that adds the oil), but I did see a mention of "synthetic sperm oil". Apparently whale oil was a good thing for leather. Importation etc. of sperm oil is not banned in the USA (as far as I know). I have a few oz that was purchased in the 1930's by my grandfather to lubricate an antique clock I now have. It was regularly used to lubricate fine instruments because it would not form a gum from oxidation.

I know that a lot of people like to get finished, and get it over with. Yes, it is a lot of work. But, realize that each ride, especially a 100 is a really special gift and savor it for all it is worth. ~ Karen Chaton ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ============================================================
