Greetings,

Given the draconian rules around shipping chemicals across international 
borders, Liberty on the Hudson is unable to ship their Black Japanning 
Asphaltum Paint (http://libertyonthehudson.com/pontypool.html) to 
Canada.  So I've been researching recipes and have found this one that 
seems do-able: 
http://www.woodcentral.com/articles/handtools/articles_117.shtml. BLO, 
Turpentine, and Asphaltum is all it is.

So I'm curious if anyone here has done this before and if they care to 
convey any lessons learned?

Thanks

Bill
