OK. Good to know. The Windex evaporates quickly, the oil does not. Just don't add too much.The guy selling them said to thin with light weight vegetable oil. Windex or water will just brake down the compound.
I still have my red lead, mixed with machine oil into a very stiff paste and kept in a snuff box, just like the "Machine Tool Recondition" book told me to, also have some red lead powder that I have had since the 1960s, not to mention some litharge and white lead; I fear the "authorities" will be coming after me someday.When I attended Richard's class a couple years back, he pulled out the bottle of Windex, I had to chuckle a bit. Reminds me of the movie "My big fat Greek Wedding" (I think that's the name of it) the old man carrying around the bottle of Windex, the cure all for everything!
BTW- I haven't tried it yet to thin down the Candole dye. Yellow and blue are my favorite to use too. Sure wish I kept the jar of red lead I had....
