I want to finish some bread serving trays with BLO, only because I've never used it and want to give it a try. However, not ever using it I looked on the internet for instructions and found several pages stating that I should cut the BLO with 50% alcohol or mineral spirits. Some also state that I should apply using 0000 steel wool and work it until the wool becomes sticky or tacky and keep using fresh pieces until the project is completed. Once this is done wait 24 hours and sand lightly with 400 paper and repeat process.
Is this the standard? I thought that I just wiped it on with a rag, wiped of excess, wait 24 hours and repeat. I planned on topping off with Howards Feed and Wax.
I know there is a difference between Boiled Linseed Oil and Linseed Oil (non boiled) the information I'm reading specifically states Boiled Linseed Oil.
Thanks for helping me with my confusion.
