    I found Osmo on amazon.es here but there are many versions of Polyx, they're pretty expensive, and they're way more than I can use. There are a lot of tung oil options but fewer danish and teak, and...

    I see Osmo products on amazon.es, but is there a specific one you guys are referring to? I see Osmo TopOil, PolyxOil, UV Protection Oil, ...

    But no Osmo danish oil. If I need to do a danish finish...

    No Home Depot or Lowes in Spain. We have Leroy Merlin and Bricomart and I'm sure they would have something. But we live in the middle of Valencia and don't have a car (or bikes because we sold them...

    Watco isn't available here (Spain) as far as I can tell. Which Osmo product are you referring to?

    Boiled linseed and gum turpentine is the original JBL recipe, so I thought I'd go with that. I...
  5. Turpentine: gum vs rectified essence for JBL finish

    I am re-veneering a pair of JBL 4312As in American walnut and I'll need to put a finish on soon. I've read about the original formula: 3 parts boiled linseed oil and 1 part pure gum turpentine. My...

    It depends. Aluminum electrolytics definitely age, leak, fail. But film type caps have a much longer lifespan and often are still ok unless overworked. I've found several crossover threads here and...

    I'm new to this myself and I'm rebuilding some 4312As, but my focus is mostly cosmetic. I thought I read that the original caps are probably still ok on these crossovers. Do you think yours are...

    JBL 4312A cracked grill frame repair

    I am restoring and re-veneering a pair of 4312As. Recently I removed the grille cloth from both grille frames and found that one of them had broken half way up one of the long edges. I think it may...

    My cabinets are 298 mm deep, so 300 mm wide veneer seems too close for comfort. I already have 32 oz of Titebond II sitting here, so I think I'm going to be buying some paper backed teak veneer soon...

    Thanks for the extra tips.

    I had a hard time finding veneer tools within Spain, so I had to look elsewhere. I ended up buying a set of brayers for rolling out the glue, and a two handed veneer...

    Hmm. The max width appears to be 300mm which is only 2 mm shy of the the actual depth, so not a lot of wiggle room.

    They seem to have a very limited stock. For unglued, backed veneer, they only...

    My plan was to use paper backed veneer, maybe Decoflex (https://www.decospan.com/en/wood-solutions/panels/decoflex/). I haven't bought any yet, but I came across a few threads that called it out. I...

    Thanks for the feedback so far. I've got almost all the equipment to do @saeman's method so I think I'll go for it. Worst case I'll have to start over but it will be a good learning experience either...
  14. Veneering over veneer options (with considerations)

    I have a pair of JBL 4312A's that I bought recently. I committed fairly early on to re-veneering them because there were a few really poor repairs to corners that had obviously been damaged. We're...

    Hello,

    This is my first post on here because I'm a recent first time JBL owner. I bought a pair of 4312As from a distance seller (I'm in eastern spain and the seller is in the NW corner). Anyway,...
