[CAUT] lacquer

[David Love]

Just to clarify what I was saying. I soak the hammer from the top down
to the top of the wood moulding.  It usually wicks out to the shoulders
anyway, but the key area is underneath the crown.

    So, Chris, are you saying that "you don't need anything elsewhere"
(meaning it doesn't make any difference, so why bother), or that not
having
anything elsewhere actually gives better results than soaking the entire
hammer? If so, what's the difference? Greater range of color?
