I used a pine tar mixture from www.tarsmell.com which stained the nylon
skin a bit on my frame, though this didn't seem to affect the adhesion
of the oil-base poly I used on the skin. Other people have told me that
boiled linseed oil dries very quickly if applied properly and will not
stain your skin if you wait three or four days after the last oil coat
on the frame before you skin the beast.
