The 'odorless' turpentine is a petroleum derivative. When I am making my secret recipe belt dressing to keep a new leather belt from slipping and protect it for the next 100 years, I use real turpentine as the carrier solvent. The odor actually smells like 'old phonograph' so my wife puts a dab behind each ear when she wants some attention.

Later they make pots that you could nail to a tree to extract and not kill the ree, a man I work with found the fragments of the pots in his backyard. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=turpentine+pot Steve _______________________________________________ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.org -- ohn S. ______________________________________________ hono-L mailing list ttp://phono-l.org _______________________________________________ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.org
