I've read that diluting Boiled Linseed Oil with Mineral Spirits in a 60/40 ratio is pretty well accepted for sealing the wood. Has anyone ever used another solvent like acetone, IPA, methanol, or something like that? Would a more rapidly-evaporating solvent decrease the time it takes for the wood to dry? I did a few searches and didn't find anything on this.
