Lots of people use a similar mix for marine use. One part boiled linseed one part spar poly and two parts mineral spirits. Although in the marine usage it needs extra poly/paint for uv protection

I was wondering if this would work. Thanks for figuring it out and doing it.

Going to try this today! I make wooden American flags and had been looking for a good finish, since I like keeping the natural look of the wood but still want to protect the wood. Ty!

Thats a great finish....yes on the fire danger. I laid some rags out to dry on the driveway in the shade and a couple hours later I found them smoking!

Awesome video brother. Keep up the good work. Love your videos and your attitude is great. Also look forward to your live stream every Wed. Going to day shift work so I am going to miss the live show so maybe you can do one at night or afternoon. Later tater.

Pro tip: wipe on poly is just normal poly.cut 50/50 with mineral spirits. Make your own its way cheaper that way

[DonKachot]

Yes it is a good mix: treats the wood, brings out the beauty of the wood and adds some protection.
The formula is actually the recipe for Danish Oil :)

hello, I didn't have time to see the live streaming, .💯👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️

Is this a “better” finish than applying linseed oil and then a separate polyurethane coat or is does this just make it a one step process? Thanks

[noheescape]

Can this finish be used on a stained guitar?

[chrisstolle]

love this idea. Wonder if this is what Tru oil is?

[robira]

Can you apply this mixture to a stained wood? Would the mineral spirits remove the stain?

[MadAsKiwi]

Hey Jeff. This is a great idea. Is it possible to paint over this with an oil/enamel based paint? I am wanting to put a finish like this on a board game I have made for my kids, but need to paint a lines between holes on the board. Thanks for the great idea

[KZstuff]

Being that polyurethane is oil-based, and is notorious for yellowing overtime, however, with this mixture combination, do you have that problem as well? Yellowing?

[jeffcampbell]

Good concise and informative video. Is your home brew finish suitable for exterior cedar planks and railings?

[Zavrl_Lavigne]

Would this be effective on wood that is stained with oil based stains?

[Rosehips]

Does this work for outside wood/furniture ?

[charliereina]

Does the poly have to be oil based, or can I mix in water based poly instead?

[StrayBishop]

Great video! Would this be safe for a cutting board? And would you ever consider putting a Sanding Sealer on first?

[howardlee]

Hello, can a bit-small amount of stain be added for a bit of colour in this mixture, thank you.
