Hi All
I got hold of a couple of wine barrels and I want to leave them outside under a grape vine. I was told that I should use oil rather than varnish but not what type of oil. Anyone any idea's? Thanks Graeme |

Raw Linseed Oil stays Tacky, Best to use "Danish Oil" or Boiled Linseed oil.

Pretty sure it isn't just lanolin. Anyway, it might work ok, as we have been using it on the bridges at work, rather than creosote. Supposedly a lot more user and environmentally friendly. I did see on it that it contains a "natural" insecticide, it being pyrethrum. Good luck |

I dont think it matters, but I wouldnt be using cooking oil, for fear of
attracting pests. You have to mix it 50/50 with turps though. Saw that last night on Backyard Blitz. Go down to your local hardware store and ask for some turps, and ask what sort of oil they'd recommend for park benches/outdoor wooden ornaments. Linseed seems to come to mind, but I am not sure if that's the best one to use. Good luck, Jade. "Syracuse" wrote in message ...

Well, thanks for all that input. Where did i get 'em? I can't find the receipt. By chance I drove past a factory next to the Ikea Bulky Goods warehouse in Rowood Cres. Prospect in western Sydney and there they were. Complete Empty Wine barrels for $100, halves $50 and will deliver for $20 per delivery. I paid $70 for some halves 15 years ago.

Hi there,
We got some half wine barrels from Tramstop in Greensborough. It was a month or so ago, but they may still have some. It may pay to give them a call first. They were around $45 I think.
