And you are completely correct that I should have ignored your initial post, you are simply an argument looking for a place to happen.
William old boy there were a lot of combinations I did not try while experimenting.
I did not try raw buggers and gasoline, or lard and the liquid drained out of wet wipe boxes, feel free to deal with those during your long boring darkness of Alaskan winter and get back to us after a couple months of effort.
There were some more combinations I did try and they did not work, so using the decades of dealing with morons which makes up my life experience I decided not to post the failures so they would not be confused with the successes.
It is your time and effort so have at it! You can also ignore the cautions about use of the double boiler if you feel they do not apply to you.
And even if neetsfoot oil does magically work, though it is not a component used by any of the manufacturers that offer tin cloth, here in the lower 48 states it is 8x-10x the price of linseed oil which does work and does not require several months of experimenting to verify the results. Many combinations of chemical will look great after a week but rot the fabric after a few months.
While we are waiting I will go and try to make some cornbread out of tofu which I am told tastes exactly the same, and see if the caution on the pump that says I should not use diesel in my Jeep is valid if all I have is diesel and it "just has to work".
