By the smell of it it's not soluble in water..

We live, we learn, we share.<br>

I take your point about cost but as a seasoned woodworker with hundreds of<br>
wood items under my belt (interesting turn of phrase, isn't it) I have to<br>
contend that overall Danish oil is still a better all round finish. Part<br>
varnish surface protection, part deep penetrating oil, and easy to apply and<br>
rework. And with a paste-wax finish, yeah baby! If you want wood grain to<br>
pop, this is for you!<br>
One thing with linseed oil (esp. double boiled) is to carefully air out your<br>
application rags and put them into a flame-proof container. If you ball them<br>
up, they can spontaneously combust (I know, this has happened to me!).<br>
Another reason to go Danish!<br>
<br>
Just saying!<br>
<br>
Many thanks,<br>
<br>
