<< Seems to me I read about such a mixture. Prehaps 2 parts Boiled Lindseed Oil 1 part Turpentine I myself have not used this, but interested if anyone has. Thank you. Joshua G. Harper >> My understanding is that this is basically a slow-drying varnish. Raw linseed oil never dries, but heat-treating it in a certain way ("boiling") causes its molecules to cross-link and harden as it dries. The turpentine acts as a diluent, to make it soak in better.
