Congratulations on the chair repair, and good luck with the gardening.
For no-smell oiling, I use drugstore Mineral Oil - just use Q-tip to apply.
Louise (wife) mentioned that instead of trying to pre-cut the end piece for the arm cover, it would be better to use straight pins to attach 2 pieces using the chair arm as the model. And then sew along the pin line and trim the excess.
It's MY chair and MY wear marks, so I feel that it's my responsibility to attempt the sewing ...

I found a whole bunch of youtube vids on upholstering a recliner or sofa, it's not necessarily rocket science, but it depends on how good you are with a sewing machine and how much time and patience you have. (One video was made by some guy who's been a professional upholsterer for 40+ years, I completely skipped over that one because I knew he would make it look too easy. Ha!)
Good luck with your recliner project, there are definitely tips and tricks on the webs for any kind of a DIY.
Speaking of which...
Update on my gardening endeavors (cause the Giro hasn't been much fun to watch these past three stages)...
Instead of trying to grow another tomato in my urban barrel I've decided to try to grow potatoes - I've never done it before, but it's supposed to be really easy. (Yeah, right.)
Also, I'm trying to save a rhododendron from dying, it has rusty leaves and am not sure why. It could be disease, poor nutrition, or other plants simply overtaking the rhodie's space, hell if I knew.
Anyhoo, while researching the problem on the webs I ran into this product, I'm just larfing my ass off. I had no idea such a product even existed - god bless the internet.
