BLO ?

[CountryPens]

Where is the best place to get Boiled Linseed oil? I am going to try the CA method on a couple of pens. I guess I need to see for myself.

Thanks,
Lester

Just about any hardware store or paint store.

Lester - Since you have not worked with BLO before I'll mention this...

When BLO cures, it oxidizes and produces significant heat. Wadded up rags or paper towels can spontaneously combust. The general recommendation is to spread them out on a non-flammable surface to dry. I spread out rags on my driveway to dry.

Fangar has a great BLO/CA article also.

With one small exception. No BLO mentioned, IIRC.

I got mine at Wal-Mart. Don't use it all the time since it can mess with the color of the wood.
