While reading a recent copy of the British magazine "Woodturning" I noticed an advert for 'Hardwax Oil' from a company named Treatex. It claims to be water and alcohol proof and suitable for flower vases.
It apparently is a mixture of several oils and several waxes. I have not seen it advertised in the US (probably not being imported) and have no experience with it. As the old ad says 'curious minds want to know..' Do any of you know anything about it? I would assume that it classes as what we in the US would call a varnish.
