I cleaned mine. Placed a dowel with blue painters tape wrapped around it so it fit very snug. Put a hook in the tang bolt hole to hang it.
With a block of wood on each end to rest it on. Then applied the LM on one flat with a cleaning patch soaked and ran one flat all the way. Do this on one motion don’t stop.
Rotate the barrel and do next and so on.
I hung mine on my shower rod with the tub filled with hot water. Wait he it was dry. Lightly wiped with back with a piece of old denim. And repeated till the color suited me.
Washed it down with a baking soda solution and hot water. Heated it up with propane torch till good warm the touch. Then wiped it down with a heavy coat of 30 weight oil. And left it for 24 hours. Cleaned the oil off with a clean cotton rag and applied a coat of wax. Printing the instructions out is a good idea.
