Where to buy BLO?

[constamj]

I have looked at both of the big hardware stores and one independent smaller hardware store and can't find BLO. Where can it be purchased locally?

Any Lumber Yard/Home Center should have it. True Value around here does as well

I get mine at Lowes. I have bought it at home Depot, & Rockler in the past as well.

As others have said, should be at almost any hardware or paint store. But, the best anywhere is Birchwood Casey Tru-Oil. Used on the finest gunstocks. I don't know what they do to make it better than others, but it is.

Possibly you're not finding it because you're looking for BLO....try looking instead for "Boiled Linseed Oil". I think you'll find that most hardware stores have it.

I was looking for Boiled Linseed Oil and it was not at Lowe's or Home Depot. Is it ever called anything else?

I buy BLO a pint at a time from art supply stores. It should also be available at Michael's or Hobby Lobby near the oil paints.

Purchased some at my Home Depot on Sat. Was by the paint thinner, turpentine area..... Odd that not at your store ??

 

[hughbie]

you can buy BLO at walmart. in the paint section along with the thinners and acetone.....and stuff like that

i've gotten it at walmart and home depot.

Thanks everyone. I will look again. I might need glasses or for the BLO to just reach out and thump me on the head.

I had the same prob but I happened to be at lowes and they had it in quart and gallon. Took me awhile to find it since I coundn't find an employee and ask.

 

[constamj]

That seems to always be a problem at the two big stores. I often find that I know more about their store than the employees. I'm always pointing someone in the right direction.

 

[ahoiberg]

ain't that the truth michael, i never ask anymore. i feel like they'd rather tell you 'no' than actually help you. i can't count how many times i've asked and then looked anyway and found what i was looking for.

Have picked mine up at a True Value hardware store. Have also seen it at Walmart

 

[sparhawk]

I have bought it at Lowes ,have seen it at Home Depotbut only in the gallons and a friend bought some at Wal- Mart.Home Depot in my area only sells the gallon cans.

 

[Jarheaded]

I bought a quart at Home depot, they are the only hardware store left around here. They put everyone else out of business and then don't have what I want half the time.

 

[constamj]

I did finally find it at Home Depot, bubt it was the 1 gallon size. I'm not sure I need that much. I will check a couple other places later today. It would have smacked me in the forehead if it could have. Thanks for all the replies.

FWIW I had trouble finding it at HD and Lowes also, but I did find it at a local lumberyard in quart and gallon cans. Then I was told it is at WM. I hadn't looked there because I assumed it wouldn't be a high volume enough of a product for them to carry. Next time I am at one of the big boxes, I will look again.

I bought some at Wal-Mart.
