DWSUDEKUM Posted August 30, 2015 Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 Kevin the thing with BLO is that you will have to let it soak in for a bit and then wipe the excess off. The smoother your piece is the better the finish will be. BLO and Danish Oil both are what is called drying oil finishes. This means that they soak into the grain and fill the pores of the wood and then begins to harden. The thing to keep in mind with drying oils is that it does not sit on the surface of the wood like shellac, lacquer, or most of the other finishes so make sure that you wipe it down good after giving it a good coating and what ever you do, this is important, do not leave a wadded up application rag laying around as it can spontaneously combust. Spread it out after using it. You do not need to flood the piece instead put the BLO on the rag and apply. BLO will make the grain and any imperfections show up more so you will need to sand it to at least 220 grit and dust it off good before applying the BLO. Hope this helps a bit.

DW great i did dispose of the paper towels i used to apply it with real good,no problem there The ware house i had for a while went to someone else empty and they did refinishing in there .Sure enough the rags caught fire and burn the place down.I let my pattern mix paper towels dry in the air but they are just acetone and mineral spirits.Might be safe? Thanks for the heads up! ;) ;) ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rdatelle Posted August 30, 2015 Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 Kevin, you out did yourself again. The only thing is, what is Blo. LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWSUDEKUM Posted August 30, 2015 Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 BLO is Boiled Linseed OIl. It is one of the hardening oils that is used for finishes. Plain linseed oil however does not harden. It is easy to apply and has the added advantage that the oil finish soaks into the wood then hardens. It makes the grain stand out and can darken the wood a little. BLO has little to no offensive or dangerous odors to deal with and is easy to apply and store. Hope that answers your questions Ralph.
