Oops, I think Philbert and I are related. I said I made a half batch but in thinking back to what I did with the measuring cup, scale etc. and dumping some water in same sized bottle, I discover I halved the linseed (8 fl oz) but put in 2oz. turps, 2 tsps Venice turps, and now I remember loading 100 grains of wax in the scale pan twice and dumping in the soup can. Anyway, mine is setting well (I can feel the "drag") under heel of hand encouragement, kicking off in less than 12 hrs. and I'm happy with the build, the sheen, and immediate hardness and non-greasiness of the surface after buffing. I'll just relabel it "jackum" and make a note on DH's recipe.
