Thanks for your effort to find the old recipe for stock refinishing. However, note that the original question was about how to care for the stock so that it would not need refinishing. And to a lesser degree a care method that would not thwart a future refinishing effort. I read in another thread that the author used acetone to cut the grime & old finish before restoring an elderly DHE. Would the wax I'm thinking of defeat that process - ie would acetone cut wax or just turn the whole project into a gooey mess ;-)

Thanks for all the replies, I'll continue to listen!

Mitch
