  • What advice or tips do you have which sound like nonsense but really work?

  • Oh, duh, sorry. Somehow I started reading the comments without having read OP's post. It was funnier though imagining the bat way.

  • Is anywhere nearby you haunted?

  • Why do people bother answering no to this? It reminds me of when Amazon used to forward questions that others had posted about a product to people who had purchased it, and you would see answers like I DONT KNOW I BOUGHT IT FOR MY GRANDSON.

  • Wait, are you saying you can look at a bright light to suppress a sneeze? I used to work with a guy who said bright light sometimes made him sneeze.

  • Can I oil wood with cooking oil?

    Jump

  • Pure tung. I do this all the time. On wood. Maybe you're not putting a thin enough coat. Do you get a shine (without buffing)? Or do you get a matte finish?

    The cloth is just damp with it, just enough to leave a sheen on the wood. Now I do put the cloth in a closed container and reuse it several times without needing to put fresh oil on it. So it's possible after the first coat its got a little bit of a start at polymerizing. But it remains damp, it doen't get hard or sticky, so if it starts polymerizing, its not obvious.

    I'm doing this in my basement. No special curing conditions, no open window, no sunlight.

    Also, maybe wood vs plastic makes a difference.

    After thinking some, I should probably emphasize that I'm not claiming you can't get a good result with a less extremely thin coat...perhaps the 2-3 days you state is a way to do that. Others do it by sanding between coats, a lot of buffing, or thinning with terps.

    I've gone toward doing it thinner over the years, but I have some good results from before I was as particular about thinness as I am now, but that have may have been because I happened not to get to it every 24 hours. I also have had problems from what was "too thick" to my mind, but possibly "not enough time between coats" is another valid take.

    I do think though, that there is a point where no amount of time will give you a good cure. If you get a weird spot in the wood that wants to drink up the oil, and you let it, that soaked in oil never properly cures and can remain a problem.

  • 24 hr is enough if the coat is thin enough.

  • That's pretty syc!

  • I recommend this also, but put a REALLY thin coat on. Like you should think you've barely got any on, and you should then wipe it off and think you've wiped too much off. There is a lot of bad advice out there about these oils. You can put more coats on if you think it needs it, 24 hours apart. If you put too much on, it will tend to look matte, or worse, get gummy.
