The bottles of wood treatment are about a third full, they were mostly full. I bought a bunch of them for $1/each at JC Penney when they were selling hard lines. Eventually combined the mostly empty ones more than 15 years ago, no way I could forget that because the black stains were on everything when imperfectly pouring from one bottle to the other. Even though the lids have been on tight they have off -gassed quite a bit of solvent. After a bit of mineral spirits I'll treat my skis. If it goes well I'll mail you whatever remains. |

If I can get my hands on some xylene will thin the stuff out. Don't think I'll attract much attention as a possible glue sniffer at my age. By the way, had beer and sausages at the new Trapp Family Lodge in Stowe before COVID. They have a pair of antique wood Gresoppa Finse skis tied to the beams in the ceiling along with some other memorabilia. I pointed out to the server that I was just as antique, but would end up one day on the other side of the wood floor planking... |

It seals the ski soles against moisture. The "grunnsmøring" is a base treatment to be applied annually (rarely more often) and also contains xylene. Here are the instructions: |
