Hi Guys ,On buying an Acoustic guitar from The Acoustic Inn. I was recommended to put Marveer By Kiwi
On the fretboard .it smelt nice kind of Cherry but it conditioned the fretboard beautifully . Trying to find some more
If anyone sees it or knows of it ,can you let me know it's whereabouts . The spray Version is supposedly dire smudgy.
Big thanks
Kimball
Yep tried the search Dave , it's the oil im after not the spray I Used to be able to buy it at Coles / Woolworths
My Nana uses Marveer on her French Polished side board.. Has done so for over 70 years!
I will ask her where she gets it.
Never thought to use it on a fretboard though..
Yeah DB , Andrew at The Acoustic Inn says it's all he used on the Martins Matins Cole Clarke Fret boards
There was never any build up tackiness and contains no silicones .
The bottles of Marveer oil were deleted from production a few years ago. The spray cans are all they sell now.
Man the little I have in a bottle will have to go a long way .As rare as unicorns tears
Thanks Mr Fox , just had email from them saying they only have that God awful spray left oh we'll never mind.
Hmmmm, not so sure on this one - just looked at the MSDS - Liquefied petroleum gas, liquified hydrocarbon and water with minor quantities of other non hazardous ingredients are possible...

Just thinking - might work if you have another finish on top, but on the raw wood - aren't you risking drying the wood out not hydrating it like with Lem Oil / Dr Ducks, etc...
Hi Brendan I've used it ok my acoustics and other basses and guitars approx 8 years . They've been great I'll put up some picks later
The MSDS may be for the spray only (especially given that it appears to be the only thing available) - my concern was based on being mainly hydrocarbon and a little bit of water - nothing really to give the board a drink and save it from drying out...
Took pic of ingredients list but nothing listed
Yep.... Spoke to my dear old Nan and boy is she ropable!
Hell hath no fury like a 95 year old Granny that cant get a product she has been using for ever............
Gran is 95 not out thats a great innings DB, but I wouldn't want to see her upset !
Not wrong, Woks... She is still a deadly shot with the slipper.. Can hit ya up the back of the head from the next room :)Quote:

Nope.. She has a dislike for footy.
Big hooray for DB's granny. Still dexterous & doesn't like footy - what an awesome lady!Quote:

Mind you, they do get a lift home after :)
Thought I saw the missus with a bottle of Marveer the other week. I don't know where she got it from. probably stole it off her 94 yo mother...
PK
I'd need one too, and only half their age, good on 'emQuote:

Might be a really good excuse to go for a nice drive in the countryside with the better half, Kimball..
Check out a few small country town shops, ya never know you might find a few bottles lurking around :)
Well you never know talking about old things check this out . Im sure we all admire beautiful things made of wood . Just because we admire the skill of the people making them . Well this was way ahead of its time. https://www.youtube.com/embed/MKikHxKeodA?rel=0 Check it out your thoughts please who's up for making one lol .
That is workmanship beyond words, but I'll try these two: Holy Crap!Quote:
