Darken modified pieces with olive oil!

[Djangovend]

I've seen a lot of people using WD-40 or silicone lube to darken their pieces but I recently found out that basically any cooking oil will work just as well. I recommend doing it this way since it is a lot cheaper and more accesable.

The pieces in this picture were darkened with olive oil.

Dark gray. The usual color milliput or apoxie sculpt gets you sand it.

Have you tried car dashboard wax polish ? I think it would do the better job and not attract dirt too. Friction is also reduced.
