Thanks guys.
Managed to strip the vice today and bought a wire wheel and went nuts on it.
I think i will give the vinegar a go and sand until I’m blue n the face.
I had the offer of getting it sand blasted and powder coated but I kind of like doing these things myself. To finish I reckon a tin of hammerite because it stabilises any rust left behind (or so i have been told)!

The trek wasn’t too far 2h30mins there and back worth it for a nice bit of kit

 I have copy n paste a picture of the vice but to no luck, I guess this doesn’t work when using an iPad.

Any help without pics appreciated, lee

It’s 100% natural shellac branded as French polish, it’s way to dark for light coloured wood but works well for walnut.

Ken, have you tried diluting with methylated spirits? Does the dye stain the wood? Thanks lee
