Wood preserver

It is strange how knowledge occasionally comes into our possession. Recently, whilst reading an article about the health hazards of unprotected wood, I wrote an email to try and find out which would be the preferred wood preserver for a new hobby that I was thinking of taking up. I was politely informed that the best one I could use is called Danish Oil and unlike most other wood preservers this one is easy to apply either with a brush, painter pad or even rags. It goes on quickly, smoothly, economically and easily and the surface dries to a tough, hard weatherproof finish almost with a shellac appearance. Why is this preserver kept a secret? I know from personal appearance after using standard preservers, the sun completely ravages them added to this, wasps will scrape lines from the surface to build their paper nests. This means that it becomes almost a perpetual job at applying fresh coats of the stuff on anything and everything ..

The only warning that I will give when using Danish Oil as with Teak Oil is that brushes, pads and rags need to be soaked/washed through. This is because they will spontaneously burst into flames and so are a hazard if left in a house, garage, shed or even outside on the floor. They need to be either washed or covered in an air-tight container – even take care when throwing them away with the rubbish because they do not need a match or open flame they can and will ignite very efficiently without any other aids!

Starting your own FORUM or MESSAGE BOARD

Forums or Message Boards are a wonderful way to promote either a Website, Blog, Events, Local Information, Recipes, Places to Visit, Health Information/Queries, Hobbies, General Chatter, Knowledge about Local Entertainments, Keeping in Touch with Friends, in fact the list is really endless. Why is it a good idea? Well firstly it is free, users do not need to log in, messages may be left using a ‘nick-name,’ pictures may be added, it is easy to both leave information and find information, it can be private – ideal for school children leaving messages for their friends and much, much more. So why not check out the options and perhaps start your own!

I tripped upon this site the other day and thought I would share the secret with you. The idea is that every time you make a purchase you sign on to the site then go through their link this saves you money. Firstly it offers a cashback on every item that you purchase – usually of 3% then it also compiles voucher offers for different companies. The two are added together and the voucher is redeemed off the price immediately whilst the cashback is held in your account for one month before you can retrieve it. The site has been operational since the mid 1990’s and is growing both in members and also companies that are joining its ranks. So far I have tested it out just once and was impressed by how easy and smoothly purchasing an item was. I was able to retrieve both the voucher of 10% plus the 3% cashback … I only wished I had discovered this site years ago … This is one site that is really worth checking out ……………
