I left our Japan Dryer.So the mixture should read:1. Linseed Oil2. Lamp Black3. Graphite4. Japan DryerHappy paint mixin', Mr. Cochran !-- abram burnettTribal Elder of the Turnip Nation________________________________________NW-Mailing-List at nwhs.orgTo change your subscription go tohttp://list.nwhs.org/mailman/options/nw-mailing-listBrowse the NW-Mailing-List archives athttp://list.nwhs.org/pipermail/nw-mailing-list/
