I have a few questions about this process, after you apply the liquid, how long do you let it dry?
can you paint over the it? Can you apply a sealer? do you apply a sealer before you apply the liquid?
Maybe you can me some tips or steps that you used .

I have often wondered why it is that
Conservatives are called the "right" and Liberals are called the "left".
"The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of
the fool to the left."
I have just experimented with the solution, I have not tried to seal it with anything.
On some woods, like maple, the finish is hard, and on others like poplar, the
"weathered" finish can have a lot of it scratched off fairly easily.
I would think that most flat-clear finishes would work to keep it looking old.

To speed things up a bit .. I drop an iron suppliment pill in the vinegar n stir ... Ready to go in a few minutes ... I sealed it after and I painted over it also.. Just brush it on and let it sit... It doesn't work like stain .... U don't have to wipe it off ... The more Tannic acid in the wood the better it works ... White Oak has lots of acid, so this works great on it ....

Yes, you will get a solution that will interact with tannic acid fairly quickly.
The longer it "ages" before applying, the browner it gets.
As for how long to let it "work" or dry - just think of it as water and let dry accordingly.
When I sanded off the "weathered" looking surface, the poplar under it had a "well dried and aged" appearance.

As promised, here is the project I just completed with the aging technique using steel wool and vinegar. I used the old wood background I got off the forum and then the letters were just raster. I applied the mix over the whole thing then at chief2007's suggestion I lightly sanded just the letters to leave them with a distressed look.
I really like how it turned out.
