BLO is an oil stain.

Hi Bob,

Here's what you posted ..Here's some more great advice from a "furniture refinish expert" .. .. .. http://www.refinishfurniture.com/finishwood.htm

Well I looked at this site to see what he had to say... (This is a cut and paste from his page right after the part you cut and pasted)

Other Oils

The other oils are much easier to use. Danish Oil and Tung Oil are two popular oil finishes. They are very easy to use and come in clear and in pigmented colors. Just follow the directions on the container, but double the number or coats they recommend. They aren't as durable as some other finishes, but are very easy to repair. If you get a light scratch in the finish, just grab a cloth and apply another coat of the finish and generally it's all taken care of.

He doesn't even tell us which Danish Oil or Tung oil he is talking about... The Tung Oil finish could be 100% pure Tung or it could be Formby's wiping varnish (that doesn't even have a trace of tung oil in nor was the varnish made from tung oil) Now for the "Danish Oil" it is 100% wrong this "Danish oil" is made from (the pastry? the poeple?) NO, it's an oil/varnish blend.

So this expert you are referencing is lumping oils (maybe) and oil/varnish blends into one catagory...

I'm impressed by his expertise and his thoroughness; NOT in a positive way!
