Re: Boiled Linseed oil to preserve patina?
Back to the original question. I've used boiled linseed oil to preserve finishes for as long as I can remember. What you need to do is mix it with mineral spirits or turpentine. I mix it heavy on the linseed side, probably about 30-40% mineral spirits. That thins the linseed and allows it to dry. Just spray, wipe, or brush on and walk away, same as paint. It's good for about 6 months. It seals w/o being shiny. It repels water. It's what I put on log walls, weathered wood, old enameled signs, and wrought iron to preserve them
