Thanks for the video. I've got some tool handles I wanted to protect with a linseed finish and a beeswax seal. But your nose is broken. Turpentine smells WONDERFUL. In fact it smells a lot like my childhood!
Shouldn't use Boiled Linseed Oil on food stuff because of the chemicals involved in it's manufacturing. (according to the info I read while looking for preservatives for cutting board)
is this ok for outdoor deck? (ipe wood) I usualy apply teak oil but it's quite expensive to buy, I wonder I can use this formula our ajust it to my deck... thankyou in advance
I store it in re used yogurt containers with lids. Keeps well, It can harden over time but a little blast from the heat gun solves that problem. When I transfer to the yogurt containers I make sure they (containers) are partially submerged in cold water so the heat of the liquid wax doesn't melt or deform the container.
Christine Witney try using a blow dryer to melt the wax to a liquid form. Wipe off excess wax while its warm and buff. Repeat this process until the wood doesn't absorb anymore wax

To make this a food safe finish sub out the boiled linseed oil for mineral oil.
What about the turpentine? Is that food safe?
@@richardbolger4900 gum turpentine is distilled tree resin and yeah for this application it is. Don't drink turpentine.

Correct. I mentioned that in previous comments. I also mentioned that if you want this to be food safe use mineral oil instead of boiled linseed oil

sousap it would work but you would have to reapply quite often and personally I wouldn't recommend it for deck use because of the foot traffic.
Are you mixing 2 parts wax to 1 part each of the turpentine and linseed oil?

How do you store the finish? Does it go bad after time?

Hello, my housemate is coating wood with store bought wax (Bee Pure) and it appears to not be coating. Any tips for applying?
