BLO

I know BLO is boiled linseed oil but what does BLO/BLO mean? Must be a mixture of some kind but what?

Don't know what you are showing is, but I use a 50/50 mixture of boiled linseed oil (BLO) and mineral spirits. The oil brings out the grain and color of the wood. The mineral spirits thins the oil to allow the oil to spread around the project easier and allow the mixture to dry a lot faster, usually in 24-36 hours.

Thanks. 50/50 is what I had intended. Makes sense now.

Les, the only thing I can figure out that BLO/BLO means, is layer after layer of blo, like more than one coating.
