Umm ... my post was an attempt at humor which obviously missed the mark.

Don't sweat it, took your comment as a joke. Now what happens if you mistake the Ballistol for Viagra?

Sorry GastonD if I misinterpreted the cynicism in your post. Perhaps I was responding after one of my many late night internet sessions. One of the shortcomings of communicating via forum is not being able to see or hear the person who is posting, so we can misinterpret what they mean to communicate (at least I can). It's amazing the amount of sedulity there is in basic communication. Half of how we interpret what someone is saying comes from analyzing the combination of their words, tone, and body language. Anyhow sorry to act like I was on the rag. Nothing personal.

I am going to buy some Ballistol to use on my Vermio for finishing. The thing that I can't really understand is the oil/water mixing percentage so I could use some opinions. What mixing % would you suggest?
