Modified Osmo PolyX Fretboard Treatment?
Hi! Someone described mixing Osmo PolyX with something else (I think to speed drying?) that one time I managed to make it to the Loothalong. Possibly @GuelphGuitarRepair ? I’d love to try it but my memory prevents me.
What’s that mixer and ratio, hellllp?!? Many thanks in advance.

Oh yes! I got a recipe from Steve @R_Guitars for fretboard conditioning! I’ve been using it for a little while with lovely results. I don’t remember the exact ingredients, but it’s a 3-part recipe, 2 of those, 1 of those…. I’ll look at the bottles when I get back to the shop, unless Steve hops in here faster than that!

Sweet, I’m glad I didn’t imagine the whole exchange 😂 Thanks, I’ll look forward to the recipe when available.
I got some PolyX after that interaction and have finished a couple of my stick dulcimers with it. I love the effect, it has a nice (for my purposes/tastes at least) darkening effect and is very forgiving to apply. It’s a slow cure, though, and I could see various uses for the modified version.
