Revdoc: I finally had an uninterrupted moment to fully read your piece about how stock finishing was done "in the day". Great story! You really have a talent for coming up with extremely obscure but relevant stuff and your timing, as always, is excellent. I was surprised to see that Alkanet Root was being used on this side of the pond, even back then too. I had thought that it was an English Gun-Trade secret of some kind. BTW, just what the heck is Alkanet Root, and for that matter, Slackum Oil? Has anyone ever seen an MSDS on the stuff? LM
