On Oiling
« on: July 22, 2010, 11:10:35 pm »
I just used the dip method for aplying the oil to a of jigsaws and it was a lot quicker and a better coverage, will use a lot more oil but the finish will be more even, I may try it with a bit more thinners

Jimbo, I mix it 50/50- boiled linseed oil and mineral spirits.

Thats what I use but it may penetrate the wood more with more thiners and drain off better
