Dave, are you soaking them or just brushing it on. Huge difference.

If I knew I was going to live this long, I would have taken better care of myself!!

This is pretty much the reason why I'm switching to epoxy sealing. |

As long as you store BLO soaked rags correctly you have nothing to worry about. Get a old Tupperware container, fill it half way with water then cover the rags in the water. Sore the container out back away from the house. I collect and restore old military rifles in addition to fishing for striper's and blues. I strip the wood and then hand rub BLO into them, After 3-4 coats of BLO I give them a coat of wood wax after. If the stocks are really dry I cut the BLO 50/50 with mineral spirits, It helps the BLO soak into the wood better.

I have ... mixing propionate and acetone ,,, seemed good ,, When I went to ues it a again the level was much lower in a sealed pickle jar .. Acetone evaporates like a bastadge . I'm sure I don't make enough plugs for alot of sealing/clear coat methods . |
