Hey my good mate, I know all about FleaBay, just ask my PayPal Account!

I did order some of the oil, $9 delivered and I'll play with that but as I said I'd like to eventually see what I can do with Benz's Mother's recipe. Nothing like having an heirloom.

Which brings me to ask if you could share your recipe????

Roy, you can share it with anyone if you like.

If you want to share, I would try some of that Bay Rum! A small sample!!

Oh..We are sharing the RECIPE!

Ooh boy, that was a loong time ago. I'm may be in one of the many existing bayrum threads but it was all just a bunch of adding this & that experimentation so no specific formula involved. 10 drops at a time was my rule so I didnt overdo anything.

What I can remember is Captain Morgans rum . A full bottle & some Absolut vodka maybe a half bottle ? A bunch of orange rinds, bay rum oil, clove oil, sandlewood oil, lime oil, Virginian cedarwood oil, Frankincense oil. I still have a little left after many years. I can also clearly remember the lovely Chilean lady at the essential oil supplier who packed my parcel... but I digress (sigh)

You guys are just getting drunk by osmosis, man!

Sometimes you just can't get the oxidation off of molded scales without compromising the design. I've been experimenting with a few different things to try to color the scales and so far this is been the best one. It's called Kiwi heal and edge and it's just a basic edge dressing for shoes. I put on a very thin coat and it came out glossy and dries very quickly. So far it seems like it's going to be a very durable finish. Sorry for the crappy pics.

I've ordered them in the past, but they were not cheap. It seems this plant likes tropical climates. I don't think it will grow where I live(I've looked into it). We need to talk some of or SRP brethren in the Florida area into planting a couple of trees.
