<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 9566985, member: 37"]I don't know about Kramer's but, if it is like Howard's, you probably need something with more varnish in it. I use a tung oil varnish on many antiques to good effect. You can also make your own with equal parts of tung oil, mineral spirits, and oil based varnish. Old wood will usually take finish differently in some areas due to absorption differences and finish wear. Multiple coats of finish will eventually even things out as the areas of absorption become fully saturated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
