Need to know if mineral oil used first will inhibit the curing time of boiled linseed oil, actual boiled not the chemically treated stuff. I'm finishing dyed poplar and the mineral oil tends to help even out the dye. But I need a hardening oil for the finish I have planned and am using the Linseed. Has anyone out there mixed the two?
I suspect that the mineral oil will prevent any finish from adhering and curing. BLO is both heat treated and dosed with chemical driers. I think you're making firewood.
your correct tried and true oil is free from chemical dryers. i've never mixed the two, but mineral oil doesn't evaporate or dry so it might interfere with bonding, you can test a small amount on some scrap wood though
I only use mineral oil for one thing. 'Nough said.
