Thread: Pratt and Lambert #38 replacement?

    Pratt and Lambert #38 replacement?

    Hello All:
    I'm going to mix up some 1/3 1/3, 1/3 Sam Maloof/ Bob Flexner finish. In the past I have used Pratt and Lambert #38 but its no longer available.
    Could any of you tell me what is the closest available substitute?
    The project is a Stickley 336 but with inverse tapered legs like the 2340. The whole thing is done in maple and I really want to avoid amber shift over time.
    Thanks,
    Jim

    Arm-R-Seal straight from the can or cut up to 25% with mineral spirits would be a good choice. No need or benefit to add linseed oil IMO. ARS is a little lighter than PL#38 but resists yellowing well. And it looks great on maple.
