Sorry to hear about the tube. I thought they never went bad - haha.

Here's the article where the guy uses Bitumen de Judea for staining.

Good restoration tips there! That gave me the idea of using the Philco tar. You have to apply it very sparingly and let it cure well or the lacquer won't stick. All the caveats about oily surfaces, etc. apply. Or you can mix it for a toned lacquer. The color is very pleasing.
