Carlspeak Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 Here is a link to some discussion by many who visit here regularly on the subject of cabinet refinishing. I assume your KLH's are walnut veneered. What you have will work fine. There are other choices as well:1) Boiled linseed oil2) Howard's Restor-A-Finish ( Personally use this one a lot)3) Ole English Scratch cover for Dark woods4) Minwax Wood-Sheen rubbing oil stain and finishand numerous others.http://www.classicspeakerpages.net/IP.Boar...nishing+cabinet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dynaco_dan Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 HI TO ALL, DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE TO GET A GOOD QUALITY BOILED LINSEED OIL, THE STUFF I'VE FOUND IN HOME DEPOT AND LOWES IS TOO THICK AND IT STINKS, NOTHING AT ALL LIKE I USED TO GET IN THE LATE 60'S, THANKS, ROBHi Rob;I bought some boiled linseed oil back in the late '60's early '70's.Yes, it has an odour to it and yes, it is not water thin.Follow the finishing instructions as per the AR speaker cabinet refinishing sheet I posted on this site a few years ago, at least once.Read the caution on that same sheet.It covers all of the different speaker finishes AR sold and is only one page long.I followed the directions for my own oiled walnut speakers and when finished a very nice appearance was visible.It is done in a few steps, not just wipe on and wipe off in 5 minutes, so take your time, it is well worth all of your effort.Vern Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
