on 8/9/2009 Have problems with oil going jelly like in container - thin with white spirit and stir but small lumps remain. Should I use some other type of thinner?

on 11/22/2005 When using Danish Oil, always shake the tin for at least 2 minutes before dipping in the brush. Also, try to shake the tin during your work. I always try to leave the piece alone for 24 hours before applying the second coat, and another 24 hours for the third coat. After applying the coat, I leave the work for about 15-20 minutes before wiping off any excess oil. When oiling turned work, 2 coats is usually enough. After the second coat, give it half an hour. You can then obtain a nice finish by burnishing the piece with some shavings from the work. Do not press too hard, as it will scratch the surface. Make sure you dispose of any rags, as they can and will catch fire (especially on a hot day). Good luck.
