I don't remember who mentioned it in this thread, but I've heard/read several times that the old driers are no longer available and that may explain why linseed oil based finishes were more useful 'back in the day'.
Am I wrong in thinking that the drier only really affects the time between coats?
Also, for anyone who is looking for a good old lead-laden Japan drier, this company sells it online. Not sure what I think about using a 10% lead additive in a hand applied finish.
