Ive got some boiled linseed oil, Ace (hardware) Boiled Linseed Oil. Says contains: Boiled Air Oxidized Linseed oil, Cobalt Neodecanoate etc. Colbalt is a dryer. Ive used it straight on some scrap pieces and eventualy it gets dry but still not hard like a hardener type finish, which is ok.
The container label says it can be used as an additive for oil base paints and stains, improves leveling, and more durable paint film
I dont know if its the right stuff to use. Ive only used it by mixing half/ half or 1/4 to 1/3 with Dalys finishes and it works pretty good, takes a day or 2 or 5 more drying time.
I havent experimented with differnt linseed oils yet, so im interested in what others find that works pretty good.
Alkanet root- I googled "Alkanet Root Powder" and found some Ground Alkanet Powder from Pakistan. I was thinking of getting this stuff. Ive read of others who use the powder and let it soak in Naptha, and then strain it, and mix with finish
