I needed some veneer softener, so I went looking on the Internet and I found
this recipe at Highland Woodworking. Perfect, but my local pharmacy doesn’t stock glycerine, and I didn’t want to waste my morning running to town. I came up with the following, and it seems to work pretty well.
- 95 ml warm water
- 100 ml denatured alcohol
- 5 ml Astroglide gel (it’s about 40% glycerine, 58% water, and other stuff)
- 5 ml protein-based glue (hide glue, fish glue, etc)
Seems to work pretty well.
