I've been doing 50/50 with Mineral Spirits. soak for about 20 minutes then wipe and hang. 2 days and I prime....seems to work fine.
I didn't have the patience to wait for the Boiled Linseed oil to dry.....sometimes I would wait 2 weeks and then prime and the primer would stll peel off.

If this is happening, you don't have enought mineral spirits in the mix! The spitits enhances absorbtion and drying!!
I use 50/50 BLO and MS and give it 48 hours dry time. Works for me! |

I'm breaking away from Val Oil .. I use to leave plugs submersed for days sometimes .. Too Much sealer .. Not dry enough inside when painted and finished.. After some with wringle finished paint,, I submersed 2 hrs. max .. Another problem is thickening .. You have to keep adding Turps to thin because the mixture keeps thickning ,,. After a while you have no idea where you are .. val oil/turps ???
I think any uncured/not dry val oil will make an apperance after sitting in a steamy car for a couple of weeks .. I want something that drys 100% sure ..

Oil finishes mixed with thinner cure by solvent evaporation and oxidation of the oil. Constant exposure to the oxygen in the air will cure the finish and make it thick, adding more thinner will make it more fluid but will not make it work like it did when fresh. |
