Is perhaps Danish Oil the same product we name "Fondur" ?

 

With D. Oil, vinyllic glue (white glue) for wood can be used ?

 

I found also a water solved lasure which gives same clear wooden color and supports a waxed finition

The English Wiki page for Danish oil is here...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danish_oil

 

However, just to spread the news, a few years ago I found that the oil IKEA sells for sealing their kitchen worktops is NOT the same as the Danish oil product we in the UK know. The IKEA oil is similar but has a lighter, more stable colour and is reputed to slow the rate the wood below it changes colour with age. I am about to make some tests and if it does have this magical property I will probably use it on the exposed wood of my model.

 

Christian, I really like what you are doing.

A model shipwright and an amateur historian are heads & tails of the same coin

current builds:

HMS Berwick 1775, 1/192 scratchbuild; a Slade 74 in the Navy Board style

Mediator sloop, 1/48 - an 18th century transport scratchbuild 

French longboat - CAF - 1/48, on hold
