Shop around the corner? Nope. There was a guy named Joe Costansa
(maybe) about 5-8 blocks away. The shop was call something Art Glass. 2
blocks south (17th stret) was a couple of studios (Cushin,Millard).
Greenland was a couple of blocks north (22 street). And Rambush was on
12 street (I think)

Don't be so testy. I just wanted to know what brand of linseed oil
putty you get at hardware stores. As I said many manufactures stopped
producing linseed oil putty. Even Dap.

"burn down the house"? Did I say that?


David Byrne said that.

fine raw linseed oil. Whiting is a special order from Janovic (a large
NYC paint store).


There's plenty available. Saw it at Home Depot not long ago.

Not sure I agree with their definition of "boiled" though.

Maybe it was Joe? Too many years ago for me to remember.

Lurker, very shortly returning to lurk mode, but BLO is a love/hate situation for me as a
woodworker.

99.99% of today's BLO is not boiled. It is loaded up with metals that function as a chemical dryer.
The site mentioned below by the previous poster is right about the cure time for raw LO, or at least
it seems like it.

There is a company called 'Tried and True' that still makes and sells the old-fashioned BLO. That's
right, they boil it in air to incorporate the oxygen. This oxygen begins the polymerization of the
oil, and the product they sell is a partially polymerized oil as was used back in the 1700's. I
have not used this specific product (experimenting with tung oil now), but it has gotten good
comments on rec.woodworking. I've seen canvas protected with T&T that seems very waterproof, and
the owner claimed it worked very well.

You can find it at any Woodcraft store, and probably dozens of other places on the web. T&T may
even have their own site. BTW, my local Borg has both raw and boiled LO and turps in quarts and
gallons.

Back in lurk mode.

Regards,
Roy
