My 85 year old neighbor used to work for the Power Company. I asked him who made the composition shingles on his 1946-vintage house, they looked so good. He replied proudly that they were the original wood shingles - he kept them looking good over the years w/"transformer oil" in a pump sprayer. I probably live next to a SuperFund site but that roof looks great. PS: I wonder if motor oil for high temp applications would work. Cheers and Good DX!
