Boiled linseed oil for me. Odor not an issue, after it dries it's negligible. I've refinished a number of firearm stocks with it as well as paddles & trim on my canoes. I use bare fingers & palm of my hand to rub on a very thin coat that doesn't require wiping off later. Many thin coats applied in that way results in a nice sheen & moisture proofs the wood.
I don’t like the Matt finish with the pure tung.oil. I’m looking for a satin finish for my wood floor. What can I apply over the tung oil to get this? Please help
These videos should include a caution of what to do with the rug when you finish with it, my son, just lost his garage, two cars in the apartment about that because the rugs were in the garage and combusted on our own. Caution
@@marmitaa8619 It's not unheard of for this to happen. Oftentimes people leave rags bunched up after they are finished, or placed in a pile. Unfortunately the oils used in woodworking oxidize, and the heat produced in this reaction can cause spontaneous combustion if it cannot escape from the rags. Linseed oil is a popular culprit for this. You can google it if you don't believe me, there are many such cases.
@@marmitaa8619 you should look it up, it's actually true. Most of the containers have a warning on them. As they dry and go through their chemical change it's exothermic and a crumpled rag can get so hot it will burst into flames.
I’ve witnessed this with rags, but never with rugs. The rag (linseed oil) started smoking, it was outdoors, on a concrete walkway in the shade. Never did catch fire though but definitely an eye opener. Now I just burn them when in done with ‘em.
Tung takes forever to dry, 3 weeks to dry, 3 months to cure. Japan Drier will help. Boiled Linseed Oil will dry much faster, to be safe I'd say 72 hours. But won't waterproof like Tung will.
Neither! Triton from DiTEC. Not an oil so it keeps my wood surfaces looking natural and doesn’t attract more grime like oil does. Super hydrophobic too
whaaat I love the smell of linseed oil.
Are these oils food safe? Could I use them on a cutting board?

Also Boiled linseed oil cannot be used for wood that you want foodsafe. Maby say its a table who cares? As a Mom, I say, babies bite everything.
Boiled linseed oil can be used. Once it has cured there is no harm.
You can add as many coats of these oils as you want. I usually go with 3 separate by 24 hours.

I highly doubt they combusted on their own.

@marmitaa8619 that's exactly what they do

I LOVE tung oil smell
Does this also help make it safe to drink from wooden cups that are treated timber?
I'm honestly debating this, but I'd like to tint the blo black, could you do that with Tung oil also?
You're getting linseed oil that doesn't smell at all
Very cool thanks
How long does it take to fully dry? I found mine still had some oily residues after wiping it off and leaving for 24hrs

@@squigglyline2813 You have it backwards.
Much cheaper to just use 5w-20
Does that actually work? That would be A LOT cheaper
@@reaper-sz5tm No, I was kidding. As far as I know, you can't use engine oil. Not very food or flame safe.
What oil should we use for wooden plating pieces which won't react with food? I have an unfinished polished wooden piece so guide me
Danish oil is food safe 👍
You could use any cooking oil or danish oil

What is your 3rd favorite oil?
Olive oil with black pepper to dip my bread in
good question lmao
Danish oil. It has its place in projects but make no mistake about it, it's a hard #3 to Tung & Boiled Linseed Oil.
You can use almond oil to finish wood too I believe
