Ed Minch posted a photo of WD-40 Aftershave.

About 20 years ago, someone referred to WD-40 as "The Galoot Aftershave" it was
funny then, and it's funny now!!! Thank you, Ed, for brightening every galoot's
day!

IIRC, it was The Mariner's Catalog that had a recipe for deck oil which included
Pine Tar and Kerosene.  The writer suggested that if you used this, you'd
acquire a certain seafaring olfactory aura, and that "Jack was Every Inch a
Sailor" would become your theme song.

Way back in the 1970's, a buddy poked fun at the Old Spice ad campaign which
featured a cheerfully whistling sailor from the age of sail. Rob said "Yeah, it
makes you smell like old rope!"

Last Fall, I refinished an old toy box for my grandson.  I wiped it with a mix
of Danish Oil and Mineral Spirits. I liked the smell, but the little guy didn't!
Of course it faded with time.
  
We are living at the end of an era.  Many of the familiar finishing materials
are actually harmful to human health or to the environment.  They will become
unavailable.
Linseed oil and beeswax will survive, but whether decent mineral spirits will
available is a question mark.

Don't be tempted to "stock up", lest your heirs be left to deal with disposal.
