: Hi Mike,

: Yeah supposed to work best on woods like red oak.

: WRC does though have a fairly high tannin level for a softwood,
: we'll see.

: I did this by mistake, sorta a number of years ago, was using
: vinegar to clean epoxy off brushes and had it in an old coffee
: can, disolved the can and it was sitting on a scrap of cedar,
: turned it pretty black, course I didn't notice it for a week or
: so. Thought it was interesting.

: Bill H.

Btw, the boat's gonna get a cypress bottom, I've got a pile of cypress I bought a number of years back just waiting. I know it won't stain well but the bottom of this boat gets a graphite/silica/epoxy finish so won't matter, it's also black ;)
