Thread: anyone using boiled linseed oil with CA?

anyone using boiled linseed oil(BLO) between coats or before using CA to finish.. all of the pen turning forums recommend using it in conjunction to CA.

I am far from an expert but keen to learn. In my very limited experience it is hard to stick anything on a greasy surface. So I wonder how CA would stick on an oil treated surface.

I think, this could be work, when you give the liseed oil enough time to dry and than a fine sandig, before you apply the CA
But there is in my eyes no necessity for this. Lineseed an CA alone are enough for the waterprotection. And all two bring a fine fire in the grain of the wood. Linseed a little bit darker, CA clearer an finer.
Under shellac I ever use linseed oil without problems, because the shellac alone not do firing the grain enough.

Actually, I just read an article about it here

Thanks for sharing. Seems fun to do! Wish I had the time.

I'm just CA'ing over Teak oil. The application appears to be working fine.
