Just did a first coat on a rifle stock set with BLO.
I hate and am afraid of the stuff . Spontaneous combustion is real.
Yet the finish is superlative. I was going to order some Tru-Oil, which I have used safely many times, but saw all it is, is BLO with dryers and hardeners.
Just now I mixed BLO with alcohol as a penetrant. Washed out the can I mixed thoroughly, and buried the q-tips I applied it with.
Set the parts to dry and I swear I could feel them giving off heat. But they look great!
Any experienced BLO woodworkers? Tell me my garage isn't going to burn up now. Please.
