Restoration Workshop Library.

Salaams, By including posts about restoration and repair in this thread I assume you are in favour of a restoration library which is the ultimate aim of the discussion. Already I detect a main question of oil versus wax in the questions about the keris for which it seems linseed oil is better. In a library of techniques we could include in the general index oils and waxes that forum members have experience of. Currently I am makeing my own wax from beeswax and turpentine. A section on DIY products would enhance the library. Regards Ibrahiim.

A Restoration/Conservation Library. Get's my vote. There is alot of knowledge on this Forum. Can't believe what I have learned, even as a recent member. Why not maximize this knowledge.

Possibly some of our Members, not staff, will undertake this compilation and present it to us for a resource page .

Perhaps a sub-forum for the participants to work in .
